About Lisa

Well I would think there are some who want to do it out of the goodness of their hearts. Being a caregiver can be a rewarding experience. If you have a good heart, and you want to give back to your community then this is a great way to do it. There are millions of sickly individuals who cannot care for themselves. Can you imagine the tragedy of knowing that you could have helped someone, but did not? Caregivers are there to help those who can't help themselves. Without caregivers those who are sickly or disabled would most likely die because they are not being cared for. As a result you would have upset family members, and we in society would have to live with the guilt of knowing that we could have done our part but we did not. If there were no caregivers then who would do it? Someone has to, and its a selfless occupation to have. Also many choose this path because they want to be a servant to the people. Being a public servant is admirable, and it should be encouraged. It helps promote more awareness, and it breeds compassion for those you don't know.My personal achievement is knowing I can help someone who needs a little or a large among of help, and knowing that he or she is safe hands. I am a mom a four and have be married for 30 years. I enjoy taking walks,hiking, helping others and spending time with my family

    I have several years of experience as a personal care attendant, mostly for the elderly. I have worked in a facility, as well as provided in-home care both privately and through an agency. I have a lot of experience with all stages of dementia. I really enjoy this kind of work, and find it very meaningful. I love being helpful, love supporting vulnerable populations, and I love working with the elderly. I love to listen to people's stories, learning about who they are, hearing the wisdom they've gained throughout their lives and being there to make their lives a little easier. I have worked in the medical field for over a decade. My medical experience has been very useful in my role as a care provider. I also have experience helping others in a supportive, understanding, and compassionate way in my holistic healing work that I also do (Reiki, bodywork and aromatherapy), another role that I absolutely love. I love animals of all kinds, and have also done pet-care in the past, working for myself - everything from the big creatures like horses to the very small ones, like birds.

    I started working with people at a young age. I worked at a daycare for about two years and then moved to elderly care. I'm very kind hearted and a patient person. I love knowing that I'm helping someone's day become a little easier. I aspire to become a nurse one day and that is what I'm working towards. Ever since I started working in this field I love it I would never give it up !
