Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Caregivers in Roxbury - 3 caregivers found

I became a caregiver because I am a compassionate , kind person who believes that anyone going through a tough journey deserves to have the best of care by someone who cares . I find the greatest reward in my job is meeting people who matter , and can offer as much to me as i can to them. I believe i learn from every person ive ever cared for. I am most proud of having every person ive ever cared for like the person i am and be leased with the care i have given them. I have gone through knowing hard journeys in life because my own child was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 10 yrs. Old..i became a caregiver to her and learned so much about how precious every life is..

I have been raised and continue practicing kindness and compassion for others. I have a keen sense of being aware of when a person is in need ... whether it be needing a drink/food, companionship, or not feeling well. I am a nurturer by nature and being a caregiver is rewarding for me in more than just monetary. In any job/career I have held in the past, I have been praised on my personal communication skills with others.

At the very young age of eight years old, my grandfather was diagnosed with colon cancer. Unfortunately enough, the cancer spread throughout various parts of his body and he died very uncomfortably just 5 months later. Throughout the various hospital trips and treatments, I was always present. Nurses often joked and were surprised by the little girl who slept in the hospital bed with her dying grandfather for five months. My mom said she recalls me having a lack of concern for my own well being, and a great concern for helping my grandfather. I was applauded daily by doctors, nurses, caregivers, and friends for my care, compassion, and understanding at such a young age. Each day I saw new caregivers and nurses do their best, always smiling, to make my grandfather's passing as comfortable as possible. The day I watched my grandfather take his last breath, and as I watched the nurses and caregivers shed tears over a man they hardly knew, it occurred to me that I knew exactly what I wanted to do in life. I want to make a difference in the lives of sick patients and their families. I want to improve the quality of life for as many people as I possibly can while here on earth. There is no better feeling in this world than knowing you've made a difference in someone's life. That is why I chose to become a caregiver.
