About Makeba

I initially became a caregiver because I needed a job, I continue to be a caregiver because I am rewarded with the pleasing faces of the people I serve. As a caregiver I have a chance to impact the lives of perfect strangers in ways that make a difference. A personal achievement of mine is the journey from immaturity to maturity, by this I mean everything I have learned since embarking on this career. When I first became a caregiver I was young and inexperienced now, I am a patient, understanding professional who's job it is to help families and clients maintain as much independence as possible. Sometimes I think God decided instead of rearing children of my own He would leave me available to shower the sick and elderly with compassion, love and patience. I am a 50 year old female who has taken care of people in need of personal care and assistance for 27 years.
