About Grace

I got into the nursing field because of my great grandmother. I witnessed the care and compassion she received from nurses and caregivers. I wanted to provide someone the same care and compassion that my great grandmother received. I treat my patients as if they were my own gfamily with the respect and care that they deserve. I'm a patient advocate and always aware of my patients physical, physiological and emotional well being.

    Being a caregiver for 25 years now and still love what I do. My great qualities dependability, patience, empathy, strength and flexibility to mention but few has made me a great caregiver for all these years clients and their relatives always appreciate my sense of humor. My grandfather was the First elderly Person I gave care , the smile on his face and joy in my heart giving him the proper care made me have interest in caregiving as a job. Dedication and selfless service both to clients and office staffs was recognized by my present employer (24hrs Home care) presented me an All- star Award certificate in recognition of my dedication ,hard work, sincerity ,and compassion . The smile on clients faces is overwhelming it makes me feel I have done a good job basically this is my calling .
