I have 20+ years of experience in the healthcare industry specifically in the role of caregiver. I've always had a love of taking care of people. My earliest memories Consisted of playing hospital with my Barbie dolls and pretending to take care of them as if I were in a real hospital setting! I would bathe them, dress them, administer injections etc. That love stayed with me throughout my childhood to present day. Although I've gone to school and acquired all of the proper credentials needed to work in hospitals etc., I missed that special feeling you get via the relationships and bonds that developed when giving one on one care to a client which I felt was lacking in the hospital setting. I am at my happiest when I am able to bring a smile to my clients face through the services that I provide for them personally and I really enjoy providing companionship as well. When my dad fell ill, I gave up everything to focus on taking care of him personally. In addition to the clinical portion of caring for him we watched TV together, shared deep conversations and stories of his childhood and mine, I prepared his favorite meals etc. And when it was my dad's time, I walked away from it with life long memories that I have passed along to my children who I hope will pass it on to their children and so on!

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
