My name is Debbie, and I have been in healthcare for over 37 years as a registered respiratory therapist. I have worked in hospitals and rehabilitation centers caring for adults, pediatrics and infants. I primarily worked with adults and loved it. However, after all the years of 12 hour shifts and heavy patient loads, I have decided to do something new. That is why I chose to be a caregiver. I still can enjoy my clients and provide quality care and have the time to do so. I am 67years old and have been widowed for 10 years. I raised two boys who I am very proud of and a grandmother. I am by myself so I have flexibility for my clients hours. I am a good cook , easy to talk to and very outgoing.

I love being a caregiver, because helping people especially elderly is a very rewarding job, someone need to help elderly and that's me, should help them .. Not everyone likes to be s caregiver but for me it's a very rewarding job. I feel good if I can make an elderly patient smile again and especially if they can get back in walking again . I was very proud of myself when a dementia patient of mine was back to her normal situation ( not exactly normal) but giving the medications on time and feeding or reminding her or him that it's time to eat will help a lot in getting better. Time management for the daily activities of the patient will help a lot in getting better for the patient well being . I considered myself as one of the best caregiver at my job now, and will continue to give my good care to the elderly until I retire .
