About Erica

I spent several years taking care of my grandmother. Being the youngest of her first set of grand kids, it was odd that she insisted on living with me. So, of course I obliged. It took me a while to realize why she chose me; she saw something in me that I didn't see initially. Although, as time went on it became harder to care for her, it was also second nature to choose her over everything else. I learned a lot about myself. I wouldn't change that time in my life. I also have professional experience caring for others also. Caring for others has been self rewarding for me.

I became a caregiver because i love taking care of the elderly and people as a whole. Being able to give quality care at a high level of gratitude and expectation is what motivates me. One of the things I'm most proud of is a time when i walked in on a resident at the nursing facilities where i worked and his countenance just didn't look right so i asked the resident was he ok. He said yes but i just didn't have peace about it,so i called the nurse. To my surprise, he was on the verge of having a stroke due to the fact that i went to check in on him saved his life in time. And for that, I'm forever greatful.

My name is Ruth and i have lots of patience for everyone i come in contact with as well as compassion which helps me connect very well with people. The reason i am attracted to being a caregiver is to give back and i enjoy spending time with people and making them smile. My empathetic nature is my gift to understand and be able to best help/assist as a caregiver. I am also a positive person and I find this easily spreads joy to everyone around.
