About Catherine

1. What makes you a great caregiver? -I love providing home caregiving service to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their face is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. 2. Why did you become a caregiver - Since a very young age I have always been interested in spending time with older people. I love to help and make people smile. I completed my nursing studies in 2002 and it was at that point I realized that caring for people, especially the elderly was my calling. 3. What do you like about being a caregiver? - meeting new people and providing caregiving services that they can no longer do for themselves. 4. What is a personal achievement you are proud of? - I'm a Licensed practical nurse in State of Florida. I love being a nurse and taking care of people who needs my help where I can utilize my nursing skills and years of experience.

I am attracted to being a caregiver because i enjoy working with people and most enjoy jobs where you have one-on-one interaction with others. Being a caregiver makes me do work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. I don't ever say, "that's not my job" but instead like pitching in to do whatever is needed and like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better.I do take pride in your attention to detail. My personal achievement that am proud of is having been selected as the best hard-working caregiver that works well in a team and is willing to learn at all times. I do feel that when am older, i'd want someone like myself there to help you if you need help
