Tikilia K.

I became a caregiver to be able to help some one family get through difficult times that they may be having with their love ones. And be able to give and show support in their love ones daily activities. I enjoy being a caregiver because it gives me a chance to show myself approve to some one else's family. I am able to be responsible for my patients, take pride in my work, and be a team player. As well as letting the families know that they can rely on me at any giving time to provide good services to their love one. My personal achievement is taking care of my comatose son, and knowing that I was able to do the best job in providing care for him before he past. After he past I took the opportunity to go back to school and received my Patient Care Diploma, Nursing Aid/ Home Health Review Certificate, as well as my Phlebotomy Certificate. I take pride in my work when I am dealing with my patients, I make sure my patients mental, and physical health comes first as well as there families needs. I am a team player, responsible and a take charge person when need to be. I am also loyal to my patients and there families.

I have been a caregiver on and off for over 35 years. It started with my Grandparents who raised me. From there I received jobs from my church and friends. When I moved to Florida I became a Certified Nursing Assistant.. I like working with people and helping others. I am kind,considerate,compassionate,gentle,responsible,trustworthy and friendly. I am certified in First Aid,C.P.R. and Alzheimers Care. I have 2 current Level 2 background checks that are approved through the State of Florida. If you request another I will obtain one.. But in order to have my C.N.A. license I must have background Level 2 approved. Most of my clients with agencies request me back as a caregiver. I I care with dignity which is very important to me. I am a positive person with a friendly attitude. I am easy going. I pride myself accommodating clients needs individually. I love to exercise,walk,swim,water exercise, garden,cook.read. And have enjoyed several of these activities with my clients. My goal is to improve the quality of life of those I am caring for. Most of the Hospice nurses I have worked with have enjoyed working with me because I am responsible and an excellant caregiver. I am professional. I am not your average caregiver - I have been told that I go above and beyond the call of my duty. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Ellen Craig
