I became a caregiver because of a family member who became very ill. I became his caretaker and enjoyed taking care of him even though it was a difficult time for me. He was very comfortable with the care that was provided and it was something I knew I wanted to do from that time on. What I like most about being a Caregiver is I like to see that a patient/client is being well cared for and that I am making that happen for them. I like to see the satisfaction on their faces knowing I have done a job well done. A personal achievement I am proud of is that every patient/client that I have worked with, providing care for, was very pleased with my work and they have expressed it with words of appreciation themselves and with my supervisors. I am a person who takes my job seriously and I like to be proficient in my work. I have been in the Healthcare field for 15 plus years and am very skilled in it. I like to get the job done right the first time. I can also be humorous with the patient/client when it is appropriate to make their day a little brighter. I really enjoy working with them.

I've been a caregiver since 1999. I started out by caring for a sick family member for 8 months. After that, I developed a passion of caring for others and I went on to continue to caring for others via a home health agency from 2008 to 2016. I'm no stranger to hard work. I do take pride in my work and my abilities to make individuals feel loved no matter what quality of life they may have currently and at the end of the day it's all about one's well-being, safety and satisfaction. I live by the "Golden Rule " do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I do have a sense of humor, I'm a social butterfly, a great listener and I believe that communication is key.
