About Laketia

Hello! My name is Laketia Knight, I am 39year old, a mother of three beautiful kids, a part-time student, and I have been a caregiver for 8 years. I am a caregiver because I not only have the heart for it, but I am passionate about helping others. In 2010, I obtain my first job as a caregiver, and instantly fell in love with it. This career choice lined right up with what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and that is serve others. Some people are caregivers for the money, but I am a caregiver because I truly believe that it is what I was put on this earth to do. I treat others the way I want to be treated, and the way I want my family to be treated. What I love about being a caregiver is the interaction, the introductions of themselves and family, the history of who they are, their knowledge of life, and what I take from every person I come in contact with. I love being a caregiver so much that I am going to school to be a Certified Nursing Assistant. I hope to take my experience and knowledge of being a caregiver into business, where I plan on opening a organization where I help and uplift women. So, if you are wondering what makes me a great caregiver, I hope after reading this, you can see why I could be a great caregiver to your love ones. Also, I would like to add that I won caregiver of the year in 2017.
