I have 20 years of experience in this field. I feel very good when I a person under my care is getting better in health, mental and physical. I can cook and I make dishes for different tastes, and for different conditions. I like a clean place, I can help with light housekeeping. Prepare medications, order medications online, drive to Doctor's appointments, or other appointments. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE NIGHT SHIFTS and WEEKENDS, but I can work other shifts either, and on call.

What makes me a great caregiver is the desire I have to see people stay in their own homes and live a great quality of life. I Chose to embark upon care providing because when I was a little girl I went with my church to sing at different convalescent hospitals and I always felt people would be happier in there own homes if it was a possibility. What I like best about caregiving is knowing im helping someone enjoy life while being able to remain in their home while receiving a great quality of care because I am one who believes in giving my all. An acheivement that is near and dear to my heart would be adopting my first child its a day I will never forget
