What makes me a great caregiver. Well it's easy to answer my love, compassion, respect for elderly I've a caregiver since 2010 because taking care of a good friend whom had several health issues later on she convinced me to get my certification in order to work with others in need of help she thought I could be great in the field needless to say love the health care field I'm taking classes to enroll into the nursing program pretty soon. Have some other certifications like certificate to administrate medications, O2 equipment, mental illness,trained to use medical equipment as well. I have had many different cases in the past. I feel pretty comfortable providing total care.

I am caring and compassionate caregiver. After working in multiple places I have found my calling as a caregiver. Ive been in this field for 10 years. Seeing the difference that I make in peoples life is very rewarding. After caring for my first client back in 2008 I attended school and earned my CNA License in 2011. Enjoy spending time with client, learning their history and listen to the stories they have to tell is one of my favorite things about my job. Helping in every day activities with dignity and respect is always number one.
