Personality traits: I try to put myself in the other person's shoes. I am a person of the highest integrity and dress in a professional manner. I know how to balance empathy and caring in such a way that as I care for the body, the mind and soul feels cared for as well giving a sense of comfort in knowing everything's going to be alright and they feel safe and secure. The thing that attracted me to being a care giver is, I like to "Help" people. I'm interested in the wisdom an elderly person has. I enjoy being a caregiver because helping others puts a smile on their face knowing they are safe and secure in my care at maybe their most vulnerable state. One personal achievement I am proud of is being excepted into the 2019 Strathmore's Worldwide Who's Who in my occupation as a Health Care provider. I have 15 years prior experience as a NA11. I've worked in agencies with Home Health and Hospice and in a skilled nursing facility. I have experience with every aspect that it takes to care for your loved one with over 20yrs. In all. The one thing that makes me a great care giver is I listen to their needs not my agenda and I love what I do.

I am a great caregiver because I have naturally been one most of my life. I became a caregiver because when I was in high school I began caring for my aunt who was disabled by assisting her with personal and medical needs. Then I was primary caregiver for my grandparents for the last 4 or 5years. I honestly love being a caregiver because it warms my heart to know that those who need assistance are receiving the proper care they need by an individual that will not take advantage of them. I started working for Home instead senior care two years ago and I love seeing individuals light up when I walk through the door and know that someone is there for them. I have a bachelors in social work and a Masters in Public health administration. I have a lot of experience working with people with dementia and disabilities.

Hello My Name is Erica, I am a Caregiver I have been a caregiver all my life really it started when i was 3 years old I would always take care of my uncle Christopher. I was really to young to know what he had(Kidney Cancer) but I always knew he was sick. I stood by his side and took care of him any and everything he needed i was there my family always called me his little nurse i would watch and help my mother and grand mother give him his medicine and comfortable before and up until his death. so as year went by I would always help my other family members when getting old enough to realize certain things and study on things. I started watching my grandmother and my father as diabetics take medicine my father taught me how to give insulin and my grandmother taught me how to take blood pressure and blood sugar. My grandmother was around her 40's when her help started getting bad and I would always help her with things but my grandmother was on oxygen I would always go to doctors appointments and learn how to work things they gave her or how to give it to her. They Tried to offer my grandmother Dialysis she was obese and she declined because of rumors of death because of it and months later she had a stroke and passed away. my father started taking dialysis and learn after years of football as a kid an always being on his feet he had to get his toes amputated so I learned to do dressing and cleaning wounds his foot healed. My Aunts deal with my great grandmother having dementia and alzheimer's we sent her to rehabs and Nursing homes but they wanted my grandmother to rest easy and be with family for her finale days my aunts didn't know what to do so they hired me and I leaned to deal with hospice care and work a hoyer lifter and did that before her finale days.. so it made me worker harder to get to my dream as a nurse I am still working on getting my CNA license. and for now doing Caregiving until I am done.
