Samantha P.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy taking care of others and their overall wellness. I find gratification when I am able to help someone be better each day than the last. I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when I help others. I have the opportunity each day to make someone's day brighter, I have the ability each day to assist someone who cannot help themselves and I enjoy the fact that I am able to be not only a caregiver but a friend to a person in the time of need, and a support system for their families. I am proud of myself for overcoming obstacles with each day that passes. I am proud of my three children and 6 grandchildren that I have been a caregiver to, and I am proud of all the professional accolades and recommendations I have received from past employers. I am warm and caring, I take care of each person as if they were my own family members. I am invested in each person that I take care of and the care that I give, and I truly enjoy the work that I do.

I became a caregiver because I wanted to be able to help elderly people. My favorite part about being a caregiver is having the chance to help someone that cannot help themselves. Going back to college while taking care of my three kids would have to be one of my personal achievements that I am most proud of. Since I was originally born in Haiti, I have the capability of speaking another language. Along side Creole, I speak English, French, and a little of Spanish.
