About Halima

I am a very compassionate person and anything that I do I give it my all. I'm studying at Saint Xavier University and I'm taking a minor in Gerontology which is the Study of Aging. That really bought interest to me and I would love to work with the elderly as I complete my Bachelors and Start my Masters in Gerontology. I am a very patient person and have great communication skills. I love communicating to people and just getting to know them really interest me. My grandfather is 86 and I would care for him for example drive him to the grocery store or just grabbing ice cream is what he really likes to do. I would cook for him and clean the house up for him when my uncle was at work. My aunt stays with him but she is deaf and mute so it can be hard for her at times. I enjoy helping both of them when needed.

One of the reasons that makes me who I am as a caregiver is the compassion that I have in my heart for my clients and their families. I am a person of integrity, honesty, dependability and concern. It's about giving of myself to my clients and having a sense of the quality of life concerning the lifestyle they have. When I come into their presence a smile comes on their face. I will show the passion, give the encouragement, and hope they will have the confidence that I will know exactly what to do concerning their plan of care. I became a caregiver because of my mother's influence. Listening to her talk about her clients was interesting and heart warming and sometimes I felt sad and wanted to help, so I did! The rewards of being a caregiver is caring for those who cannot care for themselves or just needing a little help. Always understanding what care consists of at all times regardless of the situations and circumstances whether it's to assist or just HELP. I love what I do as a caregiver because I have a compassionate heart.
