I became a caregiver at first due to lack of medical assistant jobs after I graduated from acc. At first I didn't know a thing about caregiving , but after my first client that I worked with for 2 yrs, I realized how fulfilling it is to help someone in need. I am a very caring and giving person and i'm always the first one to give a hand out or offer my help. I take pride in who I am and I feel proud to say I am a great people person. I have yrs of customer service, in waitressing to being a catering manager to having a son and 4 beautiful grandkids, I take care of my own mother who is 84 yrs old. I feel I have a gentle hand with the elderly and lots of patience.
