About Petunia

I've watched my mom and aunty care for the elderly over the years and what stuck to me always when I care for my patients is, "Treat them as if that is your family member" so when I go to work I make sure I treat my patients with care and love like he/she is my grandmother/father. I enjoy being able to hear about their stories of how they were brought up, experiences they've been through, how life was growing up and many other stories. I am proud of being able to help families be comfortable by letting someone they dont know care for their parent(s). It is rare to find someone who will love and care for your parent like you do so I do my best to make sure my patient feels the love I am giving is real.

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

My main focus of care for elderly is giving them the attention and love through the care I give them. Their well being is my priority. I am quite adaptable to any environment and because of that I'd like to think I am very friendly. I understand that not everyone is the same so I tend to approach each individual with an open mindset. This is also why I enjoy caregiving because I get to learn from them about life experiences and as they share their wisdoms. The idea that I could be of help to someone, attracted me to this line of work.
