About Heather

I decided to become a caregiver because I have a strong desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others. The opportunity to provide care, support and companionship to those who need it can be fulfilling and rewarding to myself at the end of the day. I've always had a passion for helping others that is genuine and sincere to those who are vulnerable or need the help due to age, illness, and disability because I know what it's like. The happiness that someone can count on me to be there for help and to be a lending ear is so fulfilling for myself. Care-giving provides excellent platforms for skills such as communication, empathy, patience and problem-solving, to which I have been rewarded for these skills.

The responsibilities that I was responsible for were bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, meal preparation, medication management, housekeeping and providing companionship for those in need. The achievements that I encountered were that I gave support that met the clients physical, emotional, and social needs. I can lead to increased independence, improved moods of both parties and the over well being of the client.
