About Iris

I became a caregiver because I like to help people, and also the medical field has been always interested for me. Being able to assist the elderly is a personal an rewarding feeling of satisfaction. I have been in this field for many years. I started back in 1995 as a Home Health Aid through Visiting Nurse Service, later on I became a Certified Nurse Assistant. I reside in Chicago with my family and I am happy that I have the privilege to live in this great nation where you have opportunities and freedom to conquer them if you are willing to pursue them.

1.) What makes me a great caregiver? First, I have empathy & compassion working with client in a home care setting. I feel the desire to want to help. Knowing the care about the client & want to do what they can to help them. Secondly, full of patience & understanding. Third, reliable & dependable, can be counted on. Fourth, trustworthy, working & giving care 24/7 or being invited to be in their home, near to their valuables & being trusted to keep client's information confidential. Fifth, flexible. Unexpected events can happen, always prepared to go with the flow, be able to continue to provide good home care, even if a rigid schedule isn't being followed. 2.) Why did I become a caregiver? Since in my very young age I have always been interested in spending time with older people. I love to help & make people smile. I completed my Graduate in Nursing course in 1976 & Post Graduated in Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1978 & had my Masters in 2007. It was at that point that I realized that caring for people, especially the elderly was my calling. 3.) What is my personal achievement that I am proud of? Actually, my biggest achievement in life was yet to come. I am always looking to achieve more tomorrow than I did today &;was striving to improve myself all the time.

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is putting the patient number one at all times. I believe the caregiver must show patience’s, good quality of work, be dependable, and have great communication about the patient's care among the family. The reason I became a caregiver is because I acknowledge the care a person needs to be given when they are not able to take care of themselves with passion and compassion. One motivation that inspires me to be a caregiver is give the patient the ability to smile again with the nurturing care you can provide and anticipate their needs. A personal achievement I’m proud with being a caregiver over these past 8 years making the patient feel happy in a daily basis with the great care you provided and going home with a good feeling.
