About Erika

I became a caregiver because I love to help those who can and cannot do for themselves. I love being that positive person and uplifting the spirits of people. What I like most about being a caregiver is the fact that I always put a smile on my clients face. That let's me know that I am fulfilling my duties and they are satisfied with my services. The achievement I'm proud of is a few days ago I have this client who has dementia and he would never allow me to bath him or hardly get near him but I accomplished that. I bathed him got him dread in his best clothes and he was so happy with how he looked. I was so surprised that I ran to my supervisor and said look at him. She was also proud of me. Something you should know about me is I take pride in my work and I'm a hard worker. I put the safety and care of my clients first. They are my main priority.

    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.
