I am a reliable, patient, kind, caring, alert, focused, capable caregiver since May 2018. I believe that I can always make my client feel secured and good with my company because I work from the heart. It is more than a job for me. I have good communication skills and has good decision-making skills. I am all-around and capable of a lot of things but I am not a licensed nurse so I am limited w giving medications etc

I became a caregiver because I love to help people and I have the right personality for it. I'm very patient and dependable. I've been a caregiver for about 10 years although I do not plan to do this as a career I do enjoy being able to help others, and comfort those who need comforting.
