My interest in caregiving started at an early age. Every sunday after church I would visit the sick and shut in members and others who requested prayers. I then attended a Medical Specialty High School and was involved in volunteering at local Adult Day Cares. When I was about 15 years of age my grandmother started developing Dementia and shortly after had a stroke. I became her main caregiver; cooking, cleaning, reading to her when not in school. I love the fact that I get to make a difference in someones day to day life. I tried many different ventures and always ends back into caregiving. This is what I'm meant to do and I'm good at it and enjoy doing it.

Why I would be a great caregiver, I had taken care of my mother for many years she had arthritis in her hip, knees she waited too many years before she had surgery at that time it was too late for the healing process to recover 100% she always needs help to walk and get around like shopping or her day to day errands, taking a bath at times, cleaning, cooking, going to doctors appointments. As her daughter, I was there for my mother for many 15 years helping her to have a normal life as possible, caregiver, provider, and a good listener I love to help people in any way possible in today's world of Covid19. I see many elderly people that may need help I always ask if I could help in any small way that I could help. I have worked in a customer service environment for many years in my career I enjoy listening, acknowledging what is going on in their life what can I do to help, always showing empty with grace. I would treat anyone with the utmost respect with kindness if I would be their caregiver. I was proud to help my mother and to say I was her daughter if she was still alive today I would do it all over again with no hesitation. I have worked with the agency for over 2 years I love to provide support at the time of your need I look forward of helping, be blessed Theresa
