About Nicholas

Firstly, I wanted to become a caregiver because I know how much care and love I have for others, and that I would truly be able to make a difference in somebody else's life. I would say that's what I enjoy most about being a caregiver: having the opportunity to help someone in need and make a positive impact in their daily lives. One of my biggest inspirations is my mom, who has worked in the medical field for most of her life and sparked an interest for me to do the same. I have worked in various nursing homes and assisted living communities, and I am currently in school to pursue my nursing degree. I have the experience, the drive, the passion, and most importantly, the heart; qualities that make for a great caregiver. I hope to not disappoint my clients and their families, and ultimately provide the best care I possibly can.
