Brittany L.

I first started as a caregiver in 2005. I had my Certified Nursing Assistent license but it expired, I also worked in an Assistent Living facility. I was an assistant living caregiver caring for residents after a few months I also started the Med Tech position, giving residents their medication. I really enjoy being a caregiver, it's a great feeling of staisfatcion and peace knowing you can help the ealderly bond with them and make a difference in someone's life.

I became a caregiver to not just help people but to care about them. In the homes I work for, several of my residents either don't have family or their families have abandoned them. When working with these individual's you learn theirs likes, dislikes, and moods. You begin to care for these individuals as more than clients, you become a part of their family, you become protective over them. I'm very proud of the level of comfort and trust my residents have with me. They know I'm here to take care of them and their well being. Not to boss them around or cause them harm. I have not been in this profession long, but I have always taken care of people. Friends, family, and sometimes strangers. I've had a series of ups and downs in my life, thankfully I have been lucky enough to have such a wonderful support system. I understand that not everybody is that fortunate, which is why I try to share my good fortune with others. I'm a 26 year old mother, who lives in Vacaville. I have reliable transportation and a very flexible schedule. I'm a honest kind hearted person, who knows from personal experience that life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes you just need someone to care and help. First Aid certified.
