About Leslie

I believe I'm a great caregiver because of my experience and size. I have being doing this kind of work for 11 years and have encountered many different patients with a variety of ailments. My size is also a benefit, I am 6'7'' and weigh 270lbs so I have the ability to handle larger patients if need be. I became a caregiver on the recommendation of a RN that was on my very first assignment I was on, an assignment I was on in a Fill in capacity. What I like about being a caregiver is that I enjoy helping people, especially staying in their homes as opposed to a hospital or facility. I think my greatest achievement is that on two occasions I have saved peoples lives, both people had seizures and I had the knowledge and ability to administer aid.

I'm a philanthropist in caregiving as I feel the want and need to pay it forward to the elderly, sick, and disabled population. I desire to help seniors because without them; our young generation would have never had the proper guidance in life. My need to give to the sick and disabled population has stemmed from very personal life experiences. What I have observed is most of the sick and disabled population are significantly left out or overlooked in many aspects of life. Compassion, high empathy, respect, patience, understanding, upbeat attitude, and a great friend are helpful personal traits that make me an exceptional caregiver. Making someone's day a lot brighter, assisting a laugh, or helping the old, sick, and disabled produce a smile on a consistent basis is my love and attraction to the caregiving sector.
