I'm a God fearing, transparent , easy going lady and ready to work under no supervision. After completing my high school, i started taking care of my grand parents and this attracted me to be a caregiver when I came here in the U.S. Since the most people I have been taking care of in this field of caregiving are old, I enjoy most especially socializing with them and learning more from them. my personal achievement I'm proud of is taking good care of people the way i would also like to be taken care of .
