Maxim Healthcare

I became a caregiver because I love being able to care for individuals who have a disability to performing daily duties for themselves. Knowing that I have done something beneficial to aid someone is satisfactory to myself. I am a Certified Personal Care Aid. I have been working in this profession for approximately 3 years. I have experience with amputees, hoyer lifts, and transferring and so much more . I have worked for 4 healthcare companies and have put my hard work into all of these agencies. I am currently working for an agency, but I am available 2 days in the evening.

I'm naturally empathetic and patient, which allows me to truly connect with those I care for and meet them where they are emotionally and physically. I'm also detail-oriented and reliable, which is critical when managing medications, routines, and special needs. My ability to stay calm under pressure and adapt to unexpected situations helps ensure the person I'm caring for always feels safe and supported. I've always had a strong desire to help others, and caregiving felt like a meaningful way to make a direct impact in someone's life. What drew me in the most was the opportunity to provide comfort and companionship to those who might otherwise feel isolated. Seeing how a small act of kindness can change someone's whole day made me realize this was the right path for me. One achievement I'm especially proud of was helping a non-verbal client feel safe and understood through consistent care and communication. Over time, we developed a system of gestures and visual cues that allowed them to express their needs more clearly, and their stress levels noticeably decreased. It reminded me that small, patient steps can lead to meaningful breakthroughs.
