I'm 64 years old with medical billing, coding and nursing assistant certificates. I've been a caregiver for 12 years, and love giving the best care to my patients, I also enjoy talking to them and making them very comfortable. I became a caregiver because I like to help and encourage the elderly. I'm an honest, loving and caring person. It gives me a great satisfaction to know that I'm helping my client. I'm also a great listener I respect everyone and their well being.

I have an innate sense of selflessness and empathy is embedded in my personality and I am good listener.I am a compassionate, honesty, reliable person that care about people. I have been working in the personal care profession for several years. I decided to become a caregiver because I enjoy providing care to people of different ages. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I am helping someone and this job enables me to make a difference in the daily lives of my clients. My client misplaced her money I helped her to find it and put it in a secure place, she was concern that she would forget where she put her money. She speaks five languages, so I told her choose one of the language and write it down on a piece of paper and put on the refrigerator. She was very grateful that I helped her to solve her problem and I am very proud that I was able to help her.
