About Jessica

I started caregiving for a couple reasons. My main reason was that, when my grandmother first got sick in 2013, I saw the nurses that took care of her well and and the ones that didn't. I hated feeling like she wasn't getting the best care possible. I thought maybe if I started doing this, it would be a great personal gain to see the families that I can help. I found out about the current job I have now, because I was really desperate for a job, and stumbled across this company. I found out it was caregiving, which made me excited, but it was more than that. I caregive for mentally and physically disabled adults, ages 21 to 60. It's really one of the most personally rewarding things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. I am a very nurturing person, I care very deeply. The best thing about being a caregiver, is seeing how happy the families of my clients are when they see what we do for the clients. The families are usually very thankful and it just makes me feel good that I can do something so special for them.
