About Brittny

The personality traits and expertise that help me to become to be a great caregiver, are that I'm empathetic very passionate about the work that I'm a people person and making sure that people are happy. Making sure my individual clients needs are being met is a high-priority for me. What is attracted me to be coming a caregiver is that I come from a long line of nurses and and care providers, being a care providerit is been a family tradition.that entails that we lovingly take care of our elderly at home and so this is just part of my heritage that's been passed down from generation to generation caregivers taking care of those elderly and those unable to perform the daily activities a life without assistance it's a for filling career and I enjoy it. What are you joy most about being caregiver is providing care comfort and company to those individuals that I provide care for knowing that theyare comfortable and their needs are being met is goes without saying there are no words to explain the peace that I feel when I know that my clients needs have been met allowing them to maintain dignity and respect. A person achievement that I'm proud of is called the completion of CNA school andmaking the decision to enroll in R N in school to further my education in the nursing field

Being honest, caring, punctual and following instructions makes me a great caregiver. It's making a client feel comfortable about being themselves and caring about their needs that's very meaningful to me as I'm learning as I go along that not all clients are the same. My personal achievement is being able to make him/her laugh again and love life no matter what their circumstances. I have been doing caregiving for 15years.
