About Martika

I am a mother of 5, grew up second oldest of 5 with a very large family. That being said I have been taught and learned patience and understanding. I have a love for people and a great need to help them to the best of my abilities. I have a listening ear, caring heart, great head on my shoulders and strive to help others. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being there for those who either don't have anyone or feel like all hope is lost and that they don't have anyone because people don't understand the life change we go through as we grow. What attracted me most was having the skills and heart to be able to understanding and outwork in this field, having the patience and skill set from my bring up to provide care in all scenarios for being a caregiver. I'm most proud of myself for the heart and hard work I put into everything I set out to do. I'm a firm believer if you think it's just a job it's not for you, so do something you will enjoy and be proud of. And to me that's taking care of the ones in need.
