About Patricia

I became a caregiver after I had to take care of my grandmother and decided that I like the experience. I like helping people who need my help to enjoy life in the best way possible. I like knowing that I helped them in achieving daily activities that others take for granted. I am proud that I have been in this field for 23 years and I enjoy every one of my days working as a certified nurse aide. I am proud that I was able to work hard enough to take care of both my children as a single mother and raised a lawyer and a social worker and they are doing very well as adults. I am a kind, caring, honest, compassionate person . I am very hard working. I am very passionate about my work and always strive to do the best for everyone that is possible in my capabilities. I am an avid gardener, I like to walk for exercise, I like nature and all its occupants, I like to read and do puzzles for relaxation. I have been a certified nurse aide for over 23 years. I have worked in private homes, nursing homes, and hospitals. I have experience taking care of renal dialysis patients, Alzheimer patients, geriatric patients with various illnesses, rehabilitation patients and just the patient who needs tender loving care. I am a high school graduate. I am a fun loving person who is easy to get along with. I always try to find the positive in every situation and try to the positive in every person.

I am very compassionate and patient, I also always go above and beyond to make sure I am the best caregiver I can be. I have a younger brother who was born with cerebral palsy and I always took care of him without feeling like I had to, that's when I knew what I was meant to do with my life. I started working in a nursing home when I was 16 and and then switched to home health care and I have enjoyed caring for others ever since.

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
