About Idania

I had been working in the medical field for about 10 yrs. I have experience from doing reception, caregiver, CNA, and working as a Medical Assistant. I love interacting with seniors and I love helping them in whatever they might need. I am responsible and I am a very friendly person, positive in everything and all challenges life might bring. You might ask...why want to do caregiver now?...well, I'm currently enrolled for nursing classes, I still have a 1 1/2 yr to go and as a caregiver, I will be able to work doing something I love doing and also will be able to have enough time to attend my classes.

Im kind genuine and very dependable . I Also Love working to help others in any way shape or form it gives me such joy and fulfillment to see someone smile laugh and often just the look of pleasure they sometimes have when you've helped them . I am proud as well as very fortunate enough to be raised by two awesome grandparents and when they were going through their transitions,I was more than happy, willing and honored to be by their sides so they would feel comfortable cared for without denying them independency . this is also why I became a caregiver and if any family would allow me,I will be as careing and helpful to the best of my ability to do the same.

1. Why did you become a caregiver? I love providing home caregiving services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoyed helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. 2. What do you like about being a caregiver? I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients’ lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. 3. what is a personal achievement you are proud? A personal achievement that I am proud of is caring for a client who didn't have any family and couldn't care for herself and becoming a big part of her life. 4. Tell us something about yourself? I am a very hard-working young woman I love being a certified nurses assistant. I love to helping people who aren't able to help themselves as if they would like to. I am very honest, passionate and loving.
