Phoenix Residence Inc

I'm a great caregiver because I have a lot of empathy for others and I show a lot of compassion . I enjoying helping other that can't help themselves as much as they need or want to .

I became a caregiver in 2005 when my grandmother fell and broke her hip. She needed live in help and the family suggested I move back up to MN and live with her because of my compassion for people. I then began working for a group home for adults with disabilities. Almost 11 years later I find myself still desiring the commitment I have to the vulnerable population. I have received numerous awards for employee recognition of the year. I have volunteered a lot of my time to the company I worked with for over 6 years.

I love this job Because like working with people with developmental disabilities. I took good care of my father, he had a stroke and he was disabled that makes me proud. I have 10 years experience working with people with developmental disabilities.

My mother was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1985. I became a caregiver in 1992. I wanted to always be able to take care of people who are sick. I enjoy helping others. i currently work with disabled individuals. When I come in to work, I begin to hear my name. this lets me know that they trust and rely on me. I enjoy fulfilling their needs and putting smiles o their faces. I am a mother of 6 children. i am planning to return to school to persue my career in Nursing now that my youngest is in college.

1. I actually was doing pca last year for this lady and I enjoyed it. I had quit because I just got so tied up in my other job and school, I didn't want my client going through that with me so I left. I still communicate with her on a regular to see how she doing. I now work for Phoenix Residence and really love what I do here. I just love working, and helping people. Disabled or not, I like the feeling of me showing my appreciation. 2. What I like about being a caregiver is basically just caring and loving the clients. They are innocent people who don't know half of what's going on in the world. So I try my best to show them around and love for them. 3. An achievement that I am proud of is making the clients feel at peace; at home. I like for them to know that I am here to help and not to discriminate them in any way. 4. I am 21 years old, favorite color blue, I like helping people in any way possible, I'm a very respectful person and I love my job.
