About Mercedes

I have a super upbeat personality. I like to make my patients smile, and laugh, and enjoy the company while im there. I have been a caregiver for a year and also a behavioral therapist for a year working with children diagnosed with autism. I love taking care of people and helping them with the needs they cannot fulfill themselves. I have a special place in my heart for those who need help especially because they can no longer help themselves, which isn't there fault. Its apart of normal aging and depending on certain diseases/disorders affecting the patients. i literally enjoy growing a relationship with my patients and knowing they feel comfortable with me and seeing them smile as i walk into the door. I am proud of my accomplishments of how far I've come. I have worked so hard going to college for about 4 years now. I have two associate degrees and i am now in the registered nursing program! I am not going to stop until I become a Nurse Practitioner. I am a very motivated person and i love what i do.

I can say I am a good caregiver because I love what I do. I want helping other individual and giving the best care I can share them. My profession and being a caregiver molded me to be a strong person and love the work I do even in times of heavy and strenuous workload. I can give you testimonies and documents about the cases I handled. Let other discover who you are.. As I mention earlier I like to be a caregiver because I touch lives of people, especially the elders 100 percent I can make them feel that even in their last stage of life there are still people who can let them feel that they are important. The greatest achievement I have was able to send my daughter to a good school because of caregiving. Even though our work is tiring at the end of the day a client will tell you and will say....'THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU MADE ME COMPLETE. For me this are acievements.

I love the field of caregiving very much, Taking care of individuals who can no longer care for themselves is something that is very important to me. I treat my clients like family.I started work in small facility (care home) then I move to a big facility as a caregiver at Brookdale chanate. I become med-tech after they gave me an award for best caregiver and employee of the month. Then after Brookdale I move into agency for one on one client I'm so very patient and I love taking care of people especially seniors. And I'am fresh graduate 2022 from Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts of a nursing degree.
