Being in and out of the hospital as a child as seeing the impact nurses make on their patients has inspired me to become a nurse. I am very dedicated to the care I provide.

Email Me! @ Janeisehunter14@gmail.com Vehicle accessible( Or your best offer) Some personality traits that makes me a good caregiver would be that I'm passionate and understanding and very serious about the work that I do. What attracted me to being a caregiver would be my parents with my mother having multiple hernia replacements, and my father being a dialysis patient, on top of ongoing health conditions far as diabetes etc. What I enjoy about being a caregiver is that I'm able to help someone who isn't capable of preforming their daily task on their own, knowing that I am capable with my skills and ability to provide to someone who is in need makes me nothing but honored. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that , I received my medical assistant degree.

Hi my name is Maritza Pedro I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that not only do I have 6 years of experience. I started really young at this when I was 20 years old. So therefore for me taking care of our elderly has been the most rewarding experience because I have learn so much and truly love what I do. I give my best by understanding their needs and disabilities that they might have. Taking care of a human is a big responsibility that I do with a lot of love, compassion , dedication and understanding.
