Since I was a little girl I've always been a caregiver. My first experiences are assisting my illegally blind and diabetic grandmother. I understood how important my assistance to her helped maintain her independence. She taught me how to properly care for her and do things exactly how she likes it. Through this experience, I realized caregiving is my true calling. I am a compassionate individual and dependable. I like that all my families truth me and know I will provide great care to their loved ones. I gain even more experience working in a rebab/nursing home. From geriatrics to mental health there was a wide range of people that needed care. I later realized I prefer in-home care because I also enjoy the companionship side of caregiving. It's heartbreaking to tell someone you only have a few minutes to spend with them because of other duties that need to be done. Many clients complain to me that they are just lonely and everyone is so busy. I enjoy being that person that can brighten their day and give them an encouraging word and some comfort. Moving forward I'll I know I'll always be in health care. Taking care of Mind, body and Soul is a lifelong process and I want to share my passions for it with others.
