About Yolanda

What makes me a great caregiver is that im in it and there for them. I got a big kind loving heart and enjoy spending quality time with them. I like to make them feel as their quality of life still has a meaning and just cause their age my prevent them from doing things as they did before it doesnt mean that that there life has stopped or aging has to be a sad time in their life and that it should be the best and most enjoyable time in their life. I come from a family of different ranking nurses with big hearts and know from the age of 8 that, that was my calling in life when my grandmother who also became my only mother i knew fell ill of leukemia which took her from me very fast and who i soon fell to caring for getting needles and shots and other such things to prolong her life i wanted and learned how to do this. The ongoing process of many hospitals everyday after school i lost what most kids had but to me it was worth every last miniute being able to spend them with her. To me this is my way of keeping her alive knowing that helping them and having understanding of them listening and laughing to me if i can do that then i make their lives that much better

    I have been a caregiver for five years. The thing that keeps me motivated to do my job is knowing that I am making a difference in someone's live. I love to be able to help others when/where I can. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the bonds that are created with my clients and I. I learn a lot about a ton of different people and I always enjoy listening to stories about their lives. I am proud that I have learned patience doing this job.

    The best job I ever had was being a Home Care Aide Theres something about taking care of the Elderly and seeing the joy in their eyes when you walk through the door. They become family to me . I love to cook and hear stories from their past . To encourage them to do things they use to if they are still able Or atleast participate so they still feel capable .It takes special people to do this job and I believe I am one of them .
