About Laterrian

I decided at a young age that I wanted to be a caregiver. My mom used to take me to her job sometimes as a child, and I would always tell her that I wanted to help elderly people. I would try to do different things, but she would not let me. I would say, " I can't wait until I can do this!" As I grew older that's all I could ever think about doing, I puzzled my brain over and over again about what I wanted to do, but always came back to CNA. What I like most about being a caregiver is being able to help those, who have more than likely did their share of helping and caring, but need that for themselves now. A personal achievement that I am proud of, is when I received Alzhemiers and Demetia Training, got my certificate and became LEAD CNA on the Alzhemiers Unit! I am LaTerrian Upshaw, a loving, caring and compassionate person that loves what I do!

    Not available at this time. I'm so sorry but I can recommend someone professional and just as caring..My name is Megan I'm 31 years old.. Caregiving gives me so much pride and makes my heart full. I have known since I was young what i wanted to do in life. I wanted to be a Mom, wife and I wanted to care for others. When I got my first job as a caregiver I knew I was right where I belonged. Its physically and mentally challenging on a loved one to always have to do everything and especially if their not trained or knowledgeable about what they need to do. Its honestly a full time job. That's where my help comes in. At the end of The day the stories I get to hear and the knowledge they share with me is priceless. These are people that have lived life and were once probably caring for someone else so now it's my turn to take care of them. I wanna show them they are still important and deserve to be cared for . I take care of each person with the joy and love as I did my very 1st client .. It still brings me so much happiness and just humbles me. I'm patient, I'm compassionate and very understanding. Most importantly I listen and talk with them. If they cant I will play music or read to them. I will bath them and change them if they are incontinent. My time with them Is just that. They have my full attention. It can be challenging and hard to trust someone with your loved ones. I vow to care for them professionally and compassionately.
