About Hawra

I want to care for people and help them have the best life possible. Hopefully I can bring joy and laughter into people's lives even if they are very sick or struggling. I would love to spend time with them doing something they enjoy and removing unnecessary stress from their lives. Even something as simple as cleaning and opening a window can let in sunshine and fresh air that makes a big difference in people's emotional and physical health. I am a very caring person and dedicated to working with others. I have been taking care of my mother since I was five-years-old and know what it's like when people need you and depend on you. I also have over twenty years of caregiver experience outside of my own family, at hospitals, daycare centers and as a nanny. As a nanny, I not only took care of the children, but also the entire household by cleaning and making sure that the children followed their schedule and met their parents' expectations.

    I have know since I was a child that I want to work in a job where I could truly help others. When I was younger my grandma got sick and we hired a nurse aid now my grandma is doing very well and I truly believe that was because she had such a wonderful nurse. I decided to become a CNA because I would like to help others the way those lovely ladies helped my own grandmother.
