About William

Actually, I began my career as a Caregiver simply because I needed a job. However, being able to positively affect a person's life has proven to be particularly gratifying. My first job as a Personal Care Assistant was with a woman who has MS. I stayed with her four years, and what I am most proud of is helping guide her through some difficult issues with Social Services and being able to stabilize her financial affairs. Throughout my work life I have striven to accomplish more, never just "putting in time" and collecting a paycheck. Always looking for how to improve a situation, a procedure. And now, as a Caregiver, how to positively impact a person's life. I have First Aid / CPR certification.

    What makes me a great caregiver is my inability to give up. I will push until my patient receives the proper treatment and is fully satisfied. I love working as a caregiver making sure my client has comfort when no one else is around and they always have a smile until their no longer requesting my service. I got into this field with my own experience dealing with my grandmother who died from Alzheimer's it was really hard not being able to speak up for her and make her feel more comfortable so I vowed to speak up for those in need and make sure to never fail them.
