About Gavon

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others. Being a caregiver allows me the opportunity to continue to grow and utilize my skills from school in real life experiences. I also receive the pleasure of socializing and providing a level of independence for my patient. I am proud to have attended school for my practical license which allowed me to obtain my CNA license while working toward a Bachelors in Nursing. I have lost 2 parents to the fight against cancer. The first parent is who made me want to go into healthcare. I am able to brighten a persons day at their darkest hour. I want to lift the weight off of the families shoulders. Offer all around support so they will know that there are still good people out here who does care. I have private duty experience, nursing home experience and hospital experience.

    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.
