About Grace

When I was very young I despised dirt and still do till now: I always will wash my hands, handle things that are filthy away from my body, and this made my brothers call me "Doctor in the house". I wanted to be a Medical Doctor but the death of my mom changed my course of life for me. I took care of my dad till old age before he passed, also took care of a friend that was diagnosed with HIV before she passed; I have since 2008 became a certified caregiver in order to walk in my passion despite my degrees in computer science and being an Accountant for some years. Giving care to people that needs help, communicating with them that needs someone to talk to, encouraging hope, and been there when needed is what I love to do.

Being a care giver has always been second nature to me being that I had taken care of my grandmother when her health began to worsen, I never look at it as a job but more of a passion knowing that you can help a person and keep them company because everyone needs a friend and someone they can talk to in their time of need. I enjoy learning about the lives of the individuals because they always have a story wanting to be heard, knowing I can give relief to the immediate family members sit well with me because we all deserve a break even from our loved ones. I love helping and caring for others I wouldn't treat anyone anyless than my own family.

Hello my name is Raelynn, I choose to be a caregiver for the elderly, because i like to make the pt,s happy, I do my very best when I take care of a client. I have been in the medical field since the age of 15 yrs old with my grandmother when she was dying from lung cancer. Their are always new techniques and information that I keep upto date on. My extended experience allows me to give my patients above and beyond care especially with Cardiac, Stroke, Alzheimer's patients and a lot more.i also have certifcates. I love to cook, housekeeping, taking pts to doctor's appointments and run errands as needed.i love to travel and willing to drive 100 miles to care for a patient would appreciate travel expenses.
