When I was 17 years old my grandmother had Alzheimer's disease so my family wanted to place her into a facility that was not an option for me so I took on the role of being her caregiver while everyone worked not knowing what I was getting into being in that position really molded me to pursue that career as caregiver it was the 1 on 1 bonding experience and learning experience.

I have always been a compassionate person to others, helping where I can, assisting my elderly neighbors as I was growing up, but never realizing it was a name for this and it's called Caregiving. I became a Private Duty Caregiver after a family member became very sick, and there was no one who was willing to assist her. I liked the idea of helping her, meal prepping, making sure she had what she needed to function on day to day basis. Even when she had to go into a facility I was there for her until the very end. I like knowing that I am bringing a smile or some form of hope to a person's day. My personality is like no other, whatever it takes to offer a glimmer of hope ie dancing, singing, reading, preparing a meal with love or simply something simple as taking an interest in them and learning who they are, or who they were brings me joy as well as them. I love listening to their stories I refer to some of my clients as "Living History". I am a mother to 2 college graduates. When I saw my daughter walk across the stage to get her Master's I realized I gave both my children all that I had in me as a single mom. My Greatest Achievement was going back to school and obtaining an AA in Human Services. I was given up for adoption at birth and I had wonderful Foster parents and I always said I wanted to give back what was given to me. By becoming a Care Companion I cannot think of a better way to give to others what was so freely and lovingly given to me. Time, Compassion, Morals. Consideration, Empathy & Love.

I am outgoing, energetic, and full of compassion. I give 110% in all I do. I became a caregiver at the age of 15 when my neighbor fell ill and I've loved it and have been doing it ever since.

I am a dedicated worker, I believe in treating everyone the way you would want to be treated. I've been a Cna for 8 yrs and I just enjoy what I do. The patient's need are my first priority and I do my best to make sure I've made a difference each day I work.

What attracted me to being an caregiver is I have always care for the elderly. You will always learn something new from them. A lot of the elderly don't have family or people that can come visit them. I love to sit and talk with them and to listen to them. It's things that they can longer do for themselves and I feel so helpful when I can help them with what they just can't do anymore.

I have enjoyed my job and helping other for over 20yrs.I treat others love ones as I would my own.It is hard to be able to trust your love ones with someone else.So I try to reassure them that their family are in good hands.God had Blessed me to continue to do the work that I love.And going to do my best.

I am an APRN currently taking a break from Nursing to spend time with family. My daughter is a freshman at Louisiana Tech and I am married. I enjoy nature, reading, watching documentaries, family, (people in general), animals, and mowing the yard. I love to help people whether it's just spending time with them to building a fire in the fireplace or assisting with dressing. It makes me feel like I am helping serve my Lord.
