About Courtney

What makes me a great caregiver is doing more than looking after my clients and attending to their needs. My nurturing and fostering bond that I share with the clients is what almost makes me a part of the family. I like to provide more than what's required of me because of my passion for caring for those individuals in need. I tend to have an understanding and connection with what my clients goes through on a daily basis. Going through the changes and being able to smile through it all is what I look forward to with each of the clients I serve. Being patient and empathetic gives the clients reassurance on the care they're receiving. Being attentive by responding to any situation in a timely manner. I'm constantly looking for ways to improve how I can make the lives of the clients better and fulfilling. I love what I do!

One of the reasons that makes me who I am as a caregiver is the compassion that I have in my heart for my clients and their families. I am a person of integrity, honesty, dependability and concern. It's about giving of myself to my clients and having a sense of the quality of life concerning the lifestyle they have. When I come into their presence a smile comes on their face. I will show the passion, give the encouragement, and hope they will have the confidence that I will know exactly what to do concerning their plan of care. I became a caregiver because of my mother's influence. Listening to her talk about her clients was interesting and heart warming and sometimes I felt sad and wanted to help, so I did! The rewards of being a caregiver is caring for those who cannot care for themselves or just needing a little help. Always understanding what care consists of at all times regardless of the situations and circumstances whether it's to assist or just HELP. I love what I do as a caregiver because I have a compassionate heart.
