I became a caregiver because when I was little I wanted to be a nurse to help people, I love to work with the elderly folks. I like to meet different seniors, they are very wise, I enjoy making them smile. My personal achievements are becoming a home owner, having my own family, also becoming a certified nursing assistant in the state of Georgia. I am a wife and mother, I enjoy the outdoors, I love planting flowers. I love sewing, cooking, and baking.My husband and i rescued 4 dogs.Cartell,Toby,Tipsy and Red.We adore our furry kids my heart is open to love your pets if you have any.

I've worked for the same agency for 6 years..I started with only weekends 2 hours a day. That was tough to go see just that one patient but I was determined to prove to my employers that they can assign me more clients, that I'm not your typical CNA, I really care about what I do and the patient/clients that I serve, by being dependable, reliable, taking on assignments nobody else wants, getting to job site on time, assisting and having working knowledge of skills in assisting clients with there special needs/ ADL's and being a great friend or companion to client; someone they can trust and reliey on. Within a month period of time, my employer relized i was that honorable women and assign me to a full time position with a client. I was with her until her passing. The next assignment, was the same. I believe in great quality care. I believe if i had a loved one that was in need of care, i would want someone, like me, who has the patients, time, skills, compassion and commitment to see about my family member and not have to worry or have doubts about if thy have the right person or not to take care of there loved one. So if i was to take this internally and visualize how family members would or could feel, thats why i know i have the confidence and working knowledge within me to do and be the best person i can be, and care for them the same way I would want someone to care for me.
