Smith Family

I became a caregiver in my home country of Jamaica seven years ago. Reason for taking this career path was due to the need for at home companions for elderly returning residents. I enjoy been a caregiver as It gives me a great feeling of satisfaction to keep the elderly clean ,fed ,help with medication (If needed) and just to assist in whatever way I can. Now that I am a resident here in Maryland, I presently have certification in geriatric nursing. I am honest ,trust worthy a keen listener and a great homemaker.

I became a Caregiver after taking care of my aunt during her illness. I realized it was a very fulfilling job and I like to give comfort to people in their time of need. Since then, I've become a full-time Caregiver. I'm really proud that I've been able to build a career out of taking care of people. I know how stressful things can get, so I'm proud that I can be a rock for a family. Always on time and always with a smile. I've lived in DC my whole life and love this city. Some of my favorite activities are board games, so if your loved one loves to play something (scrabble is my favorite), we'll get along just fine. I also love to cook, which I think is very important for senior care. Some seniors don't feel like eating much, but a good, home-cooked meal is often enough to make them want to eat again.

I have over 8 years of experience providing care for my best friend who has muscular dystrophy. It has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life and has contributed to the quality of both my life and my friend's. I'm 31, married, and have a child on the way.
