Home Life

I believe Im an excellent caregiver. I put my all into caring for others love ones. I'll do anything for these seniors to make their families happy and leave the both satisfied. I work hard to get to where Im at and love what I do. The reason I became a caregiver was because for one it runs in my family and two because I love caring for the elderly. The way I care for my clients I would want someone to do the same for my grandparents.

I have been a caregiver/companion since 2005. At that time there were no office jobs available as we endured a recession at that time. Since working with the various agencies, I grew to enjoy my work with seniors as their companion or caregiver. Most of them felt the same about me. Presently I have a client in Oak Brook who does not want anyone else as a caregiver and she always buys me coffee 2 or 3 times per week when we visit the cafe. That's very kind of her. My one client that I had for about 4 years, I was able to help her get her childrens book self-published in 2007. She had always wanted to get her book she wrote in 8th grade published, but didn't know how. She was extremely thrilled when it was finally published. It is always very interesting to hear stories and past history from senior clients. They have much to offer if you will only listen.

I became a caregiver because I always tried to go out of my to help an individual and those who couldn't help themselves. I don't like being a caregiver I LOVE it because I feel as if it my calling to help those who are in need like my gift back to the world. My personal achievement that I am really proud of is when one of my clients had never been out of the state of Virginia and we took a road trip at my expense down the East cost, where we did numerous activities. I am proud of this because I was able to show someone a part of the world they never experienced, adventure. I am a very down to earth type of person and very hardworking if I don't know a task I'll make sure I learn it. I very easy to get along with and a person of faith.
