I have tremendous empathy, patience and respect for each client. I treat each one as I do my father, whom I have been caring for the last 7years.Before caregiving, I managed restaurants for 23 years. I have ALWAYS been a customer service focused person. I wanted to make a change that fulfilled my heart. The thing I enjoy most about my job is assisting people with retaining their independence and self respect, even with a disability. Everyone needs to feel productive, like they contribute. The personal achievement that I am most proud of is that in the last year I have gotten my dad into the best mental, nutritional health that he has been in in the last 30 years.

When I was applying for different kind of jobs (manufacturing, warehouse) where I had more than 15 years experience, I was offer a position as caregiver of a lovely 90 years old lady, we got along since the first moment and became her part time cg. I found out that I have that special touch so much needed when working with elderly. I treat them with respect. I know it must not be easy losing your independence and if at home, seeing "strangers" coming into your house and practically take control over your stuf. That's why I like asking them (when posible) how they like things being done in their house.

I first became interested in the Nursing field at the age of 12. I was in the 5th grade when I saw my little sister in the NICU for 9 days. It was amazing seeing the nurses provide the care. Looking at the wall of stories children wrote thanking them. The picture of how small they were and grew to become big and strong. As I got older I felt I would be too emotional and scared to handle loosing an such a small child. But, I still wanted to make a difference. I never had my grandparents and always felt like I was missing that love and companionship which is what switched me over to work with the elderly. I can help them as much as they help me. I never liked history in school but hearing my residents talk about their time in world war 1 and world war 2 fascinates me and actually motivated me to try harder in school. A lot of time the caregiver is more than just that; we become family. We see them more, we get to know what they like and don't like, what makes them happy or helps them calm down. It is an amazing bond and job.

Dear Family! I take great joy in making seniors lives, and their family's lives, more manageable. I've been a caregiver for 9 years.
