Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Yvonne Thompson, and I am a loving caregiver with over 15 years of experience. I have worked with a diverse group of people over the years, and all my experiences have lead me to become a more compassionate caregiver and insightful human being. I first started caregiving because of my interest in health and holistic wellness. I knew as a caregiver my ability to devote true attention and positive energy to my clients would be a special part of their healing process. I love to brighten the days for those who can't always do for themselves. I naturally bring positive energy and happiness everywhere I go and this always inspires my clients.
My ultimate achievement as a caregiver, was being able to care for my beloved mother for several years, before she made her final transition from this world. In those years my heart expanded and I knew that being a caregiver was a part of my purpose. I enjoy meeting new people and understanding their story. Family is very important to me and so my clients often become my extended family.
I believe that kindness, gentleness and open hearted understanding are the key components of my gift as a caregiver. I understand the vulnerability in opening your home and extending sacred responsibilities of a love one to a stranger. I take my purpose as a caregiver seriously and truly love helping and connecting with people.
