About Samantha

I became a caregiver because I am a very loving, caring and compassionate person who genuinely loves to take care of people and make sure they are safe and comfortable. What I like most about being a caregiver is gives me the opportunity to provide great help, comfort and security for those who need it especially when they need it the most. Even more, I am most happy when I can be a blessing or impact positively on a person's life by simple giving excellent care. I am proud to say I have left a warm and loving long lasting impression on the hearts of people I have been privileged to take care of. People never forget how you make them feel at a crucial stage of their life. My greatest achievement has been to live for others through care giving. I am a loving, compassionate, reliable caregiver with excellent patient care and charting skills gained through over five years of experience in working as a caregiver in diverse healthcare settings. I am technically skilled in attending to patients in diverse healthcare settings which include all stages of Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke and diabetes and many more diseases associated with the elderly.

1. Patience. When dealing with the elderly, it is essential for a caregiver to be patient. Dependability. When the wellbeing of an elderly individual depends on your presence, you need to be there. Confidence. Attentiveness. Trustworthiness. Supportive. Compassionate. Creative. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is that you are helping someone , a stranger even, and how much they make you feel like a family member in such short time. I'm proud of the way I handle myself, my patience, my passion for helping others. I'm really happy with where I can go in life due to my patience.
