About Gregory

I consider it an honor and privilege to make a positive difference in the lives of elderly people and their loved ones who want the best possible care for them. I became a Certified Nursing Assistant in Illinois, and provided home care for many clients with a wide variety of needs. My personality has proven to be a very good fit as a home care provider for elderly individuals with all kinds of needs and challenges. My natural tendency is to be patient, persistent, careful, and thorough in whatever I do. My clients have always noticed, appreciated, and benefited from those traits, which makes it very rewarding for me to be a personal home care giver. My clients have always been very pleased with the quality of care that I provide, and they often tell me so. Several of them even made it a point to tell me that I was the best care giver they ever had (after having many others). My clients and their family members would be very happy to talk to you about their experiences with me, and I have listed several below with contact information. I can also share an enthusiastic letter of reference from an employer for the work that I did within the Home Instead Senior Care agency.

I am a dedicated State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA/CNA) with over 15 years of experience as a caregiver and have provided care to individuals in different settings. I value integrity and compassion as key in pursuit of my career and strive to achieve this with the principle of treating people how you want to be treated. I started caregiving as part time while in college and it turned out to be a humbling and rewarding career for me. Humbling in way that it has made me to appreciate life, and rewarding for being a part of making someone's life better.
