About Chinyere

Greetings! I am excited about caregiving because I like to help others in a meaningful way; two experiences that I found extremely rewarding were volunteering in the nursing home (as a high-schooler) and serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer. People who know me would describe me as kind, dependable, and patient. I would bring a high level of care and strong work ethics to working with your loved one. I have a background in practical nursing, currently work in public health, and seek a part time caregiver position.

    I am a great caregiver because I provide excellent care to elderly/disabled people who can't do for themselves. I became a caregiver because I love helping people, and it feels good to help someone that's not able to help themselves. I feel that helping someone else makes my day better because I know I made a difference in someone's life whether it's helping a patient bath, eat, get dressed or even assist with walking. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is me being able to work with hospice patients. I was scared to work with hospice patients when I first started as a certified nurses aide, but I work with them everyday now and I love it!!! I'm going tell you a little about me I'm a dedicated hard worker, caring, respectful, loyal and honest person. I'm also a great person to get along with and I can work and a lot of different settings such as nursing homes, home care etc.
