Hello, my name is Angela. I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant with over 10 years of experience. I pride myself in being an honest, energetic, kind, hard working, punctual and compassionate caregiver.

I fell in love with the profession and have been a professional caregiver ever since. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant, CPR and First Aid certified, and have a clean and clear background and driver's record.

I have been a C.N.A. since 1981 when I was 19 years old. I have always had a "soft spot" for the elderly/sick. I have worked in all areas of healthcare over the years, hospitals, home health, nursing facilities, geri/psych unit, hospice, private duty. I now own my own business, Quality Home Care, a non-medical home care. This is my calling and I am honored to help others in need.

Hello! My name is Tecla. I currently work for a home care company based in Athens, TN, and I am looking for private clients. I love being a caregiver, and I have 5 years of experience. I am professional, reliable, enthusiastic, and I focus on building a strong rapport with each individual I care for. Everyone is unique, and I am very open to doing things differently in order to meet the specific needs of my clients. I see many clients throughout each week, and I even have a few that I check on when I am off the clock. I love people, and I am very blessed and rewarded by every person in my care.

My current job does not say much about who I am as a person or a caregiver. Before starting in factory work I worked in a nursing home for 4 years. After the nursing home I worked in assisted living for a year. I gave my heart to those jobs. I loved ever minute of being with the elderly. I started by waking them up and taking them to the toilet. Then I would help them get dressed or dress the ones who were unable. I would then assist with normal morning hygiene care. I would take them to dine with others in the dinning hall and then I would feed the ones who could not go. I would do daily excersizes with the residents and give baths when it came time. After breakfast some would take naps, watch tv or do other things. After my rounds of helping to use the bathroom I would visit with some that I didn't get to spend so much time with because of our morning rush to eat. So many of those people whom I took care of couldn't remember some of their own family, but they knew when they seen me coming everyday and they were so happy at times. At the end of the day helping others comes naturally. My gratitude I get from being a caregiver is just making someone smile. If I can make them smile then I must be doing something well.

I have held many positions in the health field. My reasons for remaining in health care are many but the most prominent is the self gratification of helping others.

BIO For as long as I can remember I have always been the one to take care of everyone. As a kid I would sit on the front porches of the older people a just listen. As I grew up I knew what I should do take care of people. I treat each one as my own family. I have 17 plus years of experience in caring for others. I have experience in spinal cord injury and was trained in on of the best spinal rehab in the South. I have also raised Five healthy happy kids too.

Patient care is my upmost goal. I am friendly, dependable, and thorough to each individuals need. Excellent communication skills. Cleanliness and prompt care for the patients needs. Being a caregiver has always been a passion of mine and I am currently in school for my RN license. I really enjoy interacting with my patients and their families. A support system is critical in sustaining a loved ones quality of life.
