About Timothy

I strive to treat every client like family, with dignity and respect as if they were my own loved one. I like to joke around when appropriate to keep things upbeat. I'm very interested in people and their history and enjoy listening to the stories clients tell. I decided to become a caregiver as part of my plan to accumulate experience that could help me as a nurse and find the work very rewarding. I am physically able to help most clients with transfers, able to perform light housework and I'm pretty handy.

I started caring for people even before I completed my CNA certification. I've always had a passion to help people in need and to be a companion to people that don't have anyone else. I am very passionate about what I do because I love what I do. I am very proud of the education that I continue to pursue. My ultimate goal is to become a nurse. The thing I enjoy the most about this job is the different people I get to care for. I've learned a lot from my clients ,and I know that they could be completely comfortable with me.
