About Brenda

I believe I am a great caregiver because I always try to go the extra mile for my patient. I adapt well to situations work well under pressure. I originally wanted to be a nurse but within my first 2 years I realized that cnas/caregivers actually have more direct patient care than the nurses. We are able to build relationships with patients we are their voices sometimes most of the time so having that trust is important. My greatest achievement is my children and I hope I can continue to help them to achieve their own goals.

I am currently 33 years old, mother of two. I have been a home care aid (6 years) and personal assistant (2yrs) The reason I became a caregiver was due to the fact when I was 7mths pregnant with my oldest child; my mother had a stroke that effect her short &long term memory and was in much needed help at home with her daily need due to the fact my mother has difficulty remembering certain things like she did years ago; I felt she needed someone to help her on the things she might need on her day to day routines but since she didn't like stranger in the home I became a caregiver to show her caregiver aren't just stranger they can become part of your family as well. I am very familiar with all house cleaning, washing clothes, assisting with elderly needs, washing dishes, organizing furniture, running errands, cooking (basics), assist with bathing. I currently have desired work schedule of which would consist of Tuesday&Wednesday, 9-2pm Saturday (open) Sunday 8am-5 p.m. I am mostly flexible with any job description except for transportation which at the moment I don't own a vehicle.
