I believe my most useful qualities in this role are patience and kindness. In my role as a caregiver for the elderly, I had one gentleman who would always buzz me to attend to him, but because he was experiencing memory loss and dementia, when I arrived he would forget he just buzzed me for the same thing. I always showed him kindness and patience, and as a result, he requested me as his caregiver.

Three years ago I lost my mother to cancer and took total care of her during her two years of fighting this disease. A few months ago a dear friend asked me if I would like to assist this gentlemen because she knew how I cared for my mother. That is how I treat this gentlemen, just like he is my family. I truly enjoy helping others. I'm free every evening if you need to go to dinner or go to an event and currently I work all weekends with this elderly gentleman. If you need help please contact me.
