About Jessica

I am 36 and have been in caregiving around five years. The need for elderly caregivers was brought to my attention when we had to find help for my then ailing grandfather. Since then caregiving has become a job and a passion. I view the elderly as the foundations of our communities. They spent their lives caring for and nurturing others and deserve that same consideration when their bodies and minds start to fail them. Getting older is hard and knowing I'm making their lives just a little bit easier while also showing empathy and understanding is what I enjoy so much about caregiving.

Hi, my name is Brianna and the things that make me a great caregiver are compassion, patience empathy and willingness to do whatever it takes to help someone. I have been a cna for 5 years now and have worked in just about every health care setting and with all types of patients, Caregiving is not just a job. It is a chance to help someone else's situation or life be a little easier. It's a way to show someone cares about them and in return those who help actually end up learning something from those they help. What i really enjoy most about being a caregiver is the conversation and stories about their lives and to see how no matter how different we could be their are still similarities found . Everyone needs to have personal goals and achievements. I am proud of all my achievements in my life but my top two are graduating from college and having my son. Two things I have always wanted since I knew what I wanted to be and do in life.
