About St. AUGUSTINE

I have a deep compassion for caregiving. I took care of my uncle who sustained 3rd degree burns all over his body. No one wanted to help changed his bandages, so my uncle taught me how and he is alive and well with minimal scarring. I was 6 years old when I realized that God gave me my purpose and my passion, as a care giver. Making people feel comfortable and knowing that I am here to help make life easy. Dr. Lemmon, before he passed told me to never change people will feel your warmth.. Caregiving is giving is my passion and purpose.

Growing up being the oldest of 6 siblings I had to be the caregiver due to my mother working long hours as a nurse. In my adult life I've had many jobs but no fulfillment until I started caring for others. I found my purpose and calling. I truly enjoy/ love being a caregiver it brings so much joy and self gratification. My mother played a big part of why I love being a caregiver. seeing the love, she gave, and the return love played a big roll. It feels good to know that I have gained a client trust as well as the assurance that I will take care of them. To see them smile or just help them through a rough day knowing that they can count on me is a great reward. I've had a client I had just started with ask me, is this just a job or do you care? I care about what I do. This is one of the biggest questions that a client or family member has when looking for a caregiver. Staying positive, going beyond the call of duty, compassionate, caring, outgoing, patience, etc. To have the opportunity to care for your loved one or self would be a privilege and a blessing.

My philosophy is being there for you in your time of need. I am always just a phone call away. I decided to be a CNA because I helped my aunt while she was on hospice and being there for her made me think there is more people out here that need the same comfort, help and attention. I don't meet any strangers and I love to talk and entertain. We can play cards, do puzzles, read books, color, exercise or do whatever else that makes you happy.
