About Ashley

What makes me a great caregiver is that i listen attentively, treat others with nothing but warmth & kindness & i dont take this as being a job but i consider it as caring for one of my loved ones. I first wanted to be a caregiver when my grandmother was diagnosed with alzheimers & i had to care for her because my family couldn't afford it at the time. Afterschool i would care for her cause no one else could. When she died that made me want to help others & be there for them in the time of need. I love being a caregiver because the elderly are so loving, caring & the most honest people ill ever meet. Im glad im able to make them smile & happy even though they may have alot goin on. Im proud and grateful that im able to help others who cant do so themselves. It lets me know im doing great & nothing can stop that.

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.
