I became a Caregiver because I enjoy nurturing, making people comfortable, happy thus making the Client realize how important that they are. This is my-calling. I've been in this line of work/volunteering since I was a mere 21 years old. I helped my mom take care of her family that were all stricken with Cancer. In later years I then took complete care of my mom when she was diagnosed and on Hospice. Transitioning for Clients/Family can be overwhelming with dreaded diagnosis or merely aging where as help being needed in the home. I have had a 100% rate of approval by all Clients/Family, always have had a good-fit with the Family feeling at ease. I am brutally honest, I would never touch anything that doesn't belong to me. I've never been in any trouble. I have a clean record plus a fairly clean driving record. My compassion runs deep. Again, it is my niche'...my-calling to care for the elderly, less fortunate and/or those with challenges. AT this point I can only take on Sitting and Driving positions.

I am a person who loves to care for others. I love being able to help someone that may need a little extra care. I am a mother of 2 beautiful girls and am currently working for my nursing degree. I had the experience of working in a hospital setting as well as working for a home health agency. I cared for an elderly woman with rheumatoid arthritis among other things and I absolutely adored her! My passion is to work with elderly or pediatrics with my nursing degree. I have always had a soft spot for elderly mainly because I grew up around my grandparents as a child. My personal achievement is that I have been able to get my associates in liberal arts while raising my family. I enjoy being with the elderly and just communicating with them because I admire them so much. I feel they deserve so much respect because they have formed our world to what it is today.

Its funny my grandma was a RN and my mom did home health the whole time I was growing up. And I swore i would NEVER do it. Well in 2007 when recession started I kept losing one retail job after another. So I ended up having to move back in with mom. She offered to pay for me to take a CNA class and I could pay her back with my taxes. So I did. And i haven't stopped yet I have gone further and received my Certified Medication Aide license as well and hopefully will be able to continue my education in nursing some day. I like being there with the families, If i can be the person to lighten your load or even help understand a little whats going on. I love my patients and residents. They brighten my day. I know its work and my job but I feel that we help each other. I have a huge family with 13 brothers and sisters and the families I work with are just an extension of that.
