I took care of a 8 yr. old male of autism, tutored for school, prepared snacks, hygiene and assisted therapist with sessions. Also did transportation and engaged with the family. A very bright individual with strong behavioral issues. I enjoyed learning about his autism as I engaged with another male child for one year. This is a very challenging position and requires a lot of patience and persistence. It teaches one how fortunate their situation is precious.

I love the field of caregiving very much, Taking care of individuals who can no longer care for themselves is something that is very important to me. I treat my clients like family.I started work in small facility (care home) then I move to a big facility as a caregiver at Brookdale chanate. I become med-tech after they gave me an award for best caregiver and employee of the month. Then after Brookdale I move into agency for one on one client I'm so very patient and I love taking care of people especially seniors. And I'am fresh graduate 2022 from Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts of a nursing degree.

Regardless of whether I am working as part of a larger team or when I have been a leader of a group, I always put great effort and detail into all of my tasks at hand. I plan ahead well, making sure to minimize potential mishaps, as well as always taking preventative measures to make the work experience safer, effective, and above all, enjoyable for all involved. That is my work and life philosophy - doing it well, and taking the proper time to do it well, leads to great results and always builds strength and longevity in all of my relationships, personal and professional.
