I am a caregiver for twelve (12) years now. I started working as an office staff of a Home Care Agency where I also helped with some caregiving assignments when no one can go or a caregiver is sick to work. I realized I am more happier and fulfilled working with the elderly. That's how I started to become a caregiver. I am very hardworking, responsible, committed, organized, loving and happy caregiver. I am proud of myself when I make my patients satisfied and happy with my job. I like working with the elderly because the job reminds me of my parents when I helped them. The fulfilment I get from being a caregiver was when I am treated like family even after my job was finished. I realized that working with the elderly made me a better person, responsible caregiver and a compassionate human being. I always have more love in my heart for the elderly.

I'm a compassionate and patient kind of person. I'm a single dad to a 9-year old daughter after taking care of my wife who died of cancer for 3 years. My mantra in life is to treat other people the way I wanted to be treated. My daughter is always saying that I'm too nice. People who would meet me and my daughter for the first time are saying that I'm raising my daughter as kind and polite as I am. I'm eager to learn new knowledge and open to suggestions. I would rather ask questions than pretend to know everything and fall short of the expectations. I always put myself in my patients'shoes to understand them better. It is not them but it's the illness that is making them not to be themselves at the moment. It feels great to be appreciated by the patient and their family for what i've done to lighten the everyday pain in their lives. I'm proud with what I do, and I find other ways to do my best by adding value to the career I've chosen to do.

Having my CNA i immediately went into the healthcare field where i was expose to all different work environments. I worked from a Lab setting to Hoag Hospitals even being welcomed into the homes of families. Shortly after being a CNA I went onto obtaining my Phlebotomist license wanting to gain more experience within the vase field to be able to help out in the long run. I feel in love with being a caregiver once i obtain my CNA license knowing that i was a help to someone who was still capable of helping myself better navigate through life. What attracts me the most of being a Caregiver is the knowledge i gain from the clients i worked with the past. Being able to come into someones life that needs my assists with the smaller items around the house to gain more knowledge about them as they grew through life is what drives me as a Caregiver to always be there when i am needed. I currently do work for Quest-diagnostics throughout the day caring for members throughout the country with special needs.
