About Afu

I've always been close to my grandparents, so becoming a caregiver for elderlies was very easy. I'm compassionate, patient, trustworthy and reliable. I love being a caregiver as I get to hear their unique life stories and I have learned a lot from them.

What makes me a great caregiver is my ability to care for a loved one, my compassion, patience,dependability and flexibility. What I like being a caregiver is that I love taking care of elders like taking care of my own family and helping them to enjoy their life. My personal achievement in life is to be able to pursue work that I love to do and maintaining a happy and healthy family life and career.

I became a caregiver in 2001 and I love it. I learn so much from each patient because they are wise and independent. I bring love to each patient and I get wisdom from them and more understanding. I am a good caregiver. .I do my work with love. I make sure I provide them my best. Keeping them happy is my no 1 priority. Hygiene and safety is my duty to them....I maintain their homes well and also a good cook.... Giving my best is important to me and it makes me happy knowing I did my best.
