About Dominique

I'm a great caregiver because I a compassionate person who put others need before mines. I'm also a great caregiver because I take time out to get to know my client and not just show to work. I became a caregiver when witnessed how some family members treat there family who can't care for themselves and because I have a passion for helping those who can't help themselves. I enjoy being a caregiver because I'm able to help people who can't help themselves and I get to see the joy they have when they have someone there that can help them while keeping them company. One achievement I'm proud of when it comes to be a caregiver is that I'm now working on a CNA certification,
