About Myisha

I became a Caregiver because I am a gifted service oriented person and I enjoy helping and encouraging people to do and feel their best when they happen to be dealing with physical and emotional challenges in their lives. What I like about being a Caregiver is the one on one personal interaction with client or resident. I get a joy out of hearing personal stories about their past and present life and watching the client/resident beam with excitement in telling their story. Or if it isn't an exciting story, but rather a sad one, they seem to be comforted by my attentiveness. A personal achievement I am proud of is completing my CNA course with High Honors. I enjoy reading and learning, specifically Holistic Health and Nutrition. Traveling is a love of mine, so I have taken a few cruises over the years and have visited a few States. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

    My aging mother who suffered from early-onset Alzheimer's first opened my eyes to the challenges of caring for an aging parent. I attended seminars, took courses and got my Nursing Assistant certification to care for her. I learned a lot of patience and tactics for working with the elder population. One of the joys and, I think, one of my strengths as a caregiver is providing companionship , stability and finding fun and meaning in unlikely places.

    Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because of my desire to help others especially the elderly. My passion and dedication for seniors is very important to me. Nothing brings me great pleasure in assisting people that are in need of some care. My greatest achievement in life are my children. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of six. Teaching my children to respect and help others gives me the satisfaction that when in some giving time I need help, they will assist me just like I assist and care for others in the same manner. I'm not just a caregiver but a friend and if God gave me the patience, understanding and caring way to help others than I am here for that. God bless you and hope to assist anyone in need.
