Welcome to my page! Growing up, my parents would call me their "little doctor" when they were cut or were feeling sick because I would try to help in any way that I could. I finally pursued caregiving as a career after high school when I found a nursing assistant's program. I have volunteered at a nursing facility for about 2 months and I officially worked at another nursing facility for an additional 2 months. I enjoy my responsibilities as a caregiver but one of the most rewarding parts is being able to give company to whom I am taking care of. In the previous nursing facility I worked at, I learned that I personally would rather take care of one or two people at a time because I am able to provide the care that each person would realistically need. My boss pulled me aside three times to let me know that one of my patients from the day before had told him directly that I was doing a great job and that they really liked me. I have had multiple patients who were labeled as "difficult" say that I was their favorite caregiver out of everybody who has taken care of them. I have been requested by a family to specifically be the only person on my shifts to take care of their loved one. Approval from my patients and their family is the greatest reward that I could ever receive because it encourages me to continue doing the little things that make each patient feel like they are in good hands. A skill that I believe that every caregiver should have before having the responsibility of taking care of another person is a good heart with good intentions. Although I did not have the same years of experience as my coworkers, I was still acknowledged by my nurses and managers because of the extra step I would take to ensure that my patients were well taken care of. I can't wait to hopefully meet you and your loved ones. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!
