About Joycelyn

I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. I take pride in attention to detail. I don't want a desk job; I like being physical in a job and using my body as well as my brain. I'm seeking a career with growing opportunities. I like being a caregiver because I enjoy working with people and most enjoy jobs where I have one-on-one interaction with others. I enjoyed taking care of elder family members and would like to help others in this way. I like older adults and feel you can get along well with a variety of elders.I enjoy a lot of flexibility and independence in your work. What I like most about being a caregiver I like working -on-one with someone and developing a relationship with a client. I can be creative and think on my feet. What I achieved being a caregiver is planning and problem solving skills for a caregiver. Being organized on a daily basis and being ready to handle unexpected situations help me care for loved one.

I became a caregiver because my parents needed me. There was no hesitation, my love and admiration for my parents knows no bounds. I'm an excellent caregiver because of my compassion and empathy for other's, especially our senior community, who need care the most. I am professional yet personable. I strive to make "my person" comfortable and happy. I possess common sense and a sense of humor. I'm honest and trustworthy and care for other's as if they were my family.
