About FAVOUR

I trained as teacher in Ghana and taught basic school for four years before going to theUniversity. As a basic school teacher I was the first aide provider taking care of sick and injured children, which i really enjoyed doing. when i completed University i taught as a high school teacher and there i was made i house mistress, in charge of over 200 girls in the boarding school. i was in charge of their general well being including first aide and sending them to the hospital if the need arise. From these experiences i got attached emotionally to people and i try to do my best for people especially when they need my help or when they are sick. When i came to the United States in 2012 i trained as a home health aide and i have been giving care it till date. I find joy and satisfaction in the fact that families can trust and rely on me to provide the best of care for their loved ones even when they are not near. i enjoy the bond that is created when the people i care for grow to love and treat me like a family member. Because of the joy i get from my care giving job, i want to train as a Nurse to continue taking care of people who need my help.

I have 20 years experience in healthcare from nursing homes to top hospitals such as north shore alexian brothers and northwest community to name a few. I started out 22 Years as a housekeeper in a private nursing home in Wilmette Illinois. I was always assisting the nurse aids in the rooms . The nurses/ nurse aids were always so overwhelm, I often pitched in to assist with simple things such as picking out an outfit or brushing hair putting a shoe on finding something that had been misplaced . I developed a great Rapport with so many of the seniors that I was told one day you're such a natural you should go to school so that you can work here with us. I did and never once regretted my decision. I love what I do and find it at times challenging butWhat in life is not I feel the joy in bringing joy to other people's life and the joy they bring me in there appreciating how well I take care of them or there loved ones who many times can't. I have worked in many different fields in the healthcare one is because I never wanted to become burn out so as to no longer be empathic to my patients and two to have more experience to better help wide range of patients
