About Brook

My name is Brook, I am a 44 year old mother of 3, and I've been working as a caregiver for a few years. I love caregiving as I am a very friendly person who has always had a soft spot for elderly people and those who are in need. I'm vey patient and loving and have found that most of my elderly friends have become like family. I truly believe in treating others the way that I would want to be treated myself. I'm always on time and willing to help in any way that is needed from housework to running errands to cooking your favorite foods! I'm looking forward to my next caregiving experience, so if you think that I can be of service to you or your loved one, please do not hesitate to call me.

I have always loved being able to help people and find ways to take care of them. I am a very people oriented person and love helping others. I have been doing this a long time. One thing I am very proud of is learning how to stand on my own feet and take care of myself after going through a personal loss.

I have worked at an Assisted Living when I was in high school and that by far was my favorite job. I love being in the environment of the elderly simply because they give you great life stories on how to better yourself for you and your work place, sitting down and talking to some of them have already helped me change my life for the better. I believe that my passion is with an elderly. I have an unconditional love for the elderly and I would love nothing more than to achieve my dream of being a Caregiver, knowing that I can help someone who can't always help themselves. I am very trustworthy, I am responsible in all my actions. I am 21 years old, I have been through a lot to make me the person I am today. I am self sufficient, and want what is best for everyone, I make sure every body else is taken care of before I take care of myself. I was in the JROTC program in high school, I was the Color Guard Captain, as well as the Drill Team Captain. I want to fulfill my dreams in being a care giver.
