About Lorita

I decided to become a caregiver when my mom was close to going into diabetic shock. I started taking classes and working mostly in the Alzheimer's ward at the facility I was training at. I fell in love with caring for people. It really gives me a feeling of satisfaction to know I've done something for somebody who truly appreciated it. I was grateful I had taken the classes when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer and asked me to care for her at the end of her life., and when my mom needed care as well. I'm grateful for the training I received, I take great pride in how well I managed both of their care, and everyone I have assisted. I enjoy helping people and making their lives a lil easier if I can.

I have patience, passion, compassion and many more, what attracted me to being a caregiver was my grandfather whom i took care of for many years before he passed. What i enjoy most about being a caregiver is the companionship and caring for someone who needs it. A personal achievement i am proud of is being able to help my family and other family's with their loved one's. The companionship has touched my heart, providing emotional support and helping my aunt and another lady i cared for to feel as comfortable as possible near the end of their life.

In the facility that I currently work in, I work with many residents with varying degrees of dependence. This has helped me to take care of multiple residents while giving quality individualized care. I decided to become a care giver a few years ago because I have always wanted to help others. So far, the best part of giving care is seeing how much my assistance positively impacts my residents' lives. In March of 2018, I began my first job that would launch me into becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant a couple months later after receiving training within the company. I am thankful and proud that I chose to become a Nursing Assistant. Now, I take care of a client 21 hours a week including heavy house keeping, running errands, and fixing appliances.
