About Jeffrey

I became a PCA because I am very much a people person and like helping others. What I like about it is the internal rewards you get when your client makes great strides. What I am proud of is when I was taking care of 2 autistic teens and the mother said one day to one of them "so what do you think of Jeff"? And his reply was that I fit in and that he feels more motivated just having me around. As far as myself, I am very much motivated to see progress in my clients, I am very patient and empathetic, and I just flat out like helping people.

    As a licensed practical nurse I believe health encompasses the whole person and their support network. Without a sound support network you have a weakness, if I can help fill that area to give a better foundation of support to an individual and their network of support, I am more than willing to do so. I have always wanted to challenge myself to do more for my community, by helping others with their daily activities I feel I am bringing some semblance of independence and dignity back to those who may feel as though they have lost those critical pieces in their lives. This in turn brings back a piece of our community, making it whole once again. In my personal life I enjoy learning new skills. I tried my hand at gardening this summer and was able to grow plenty of food which in turn lead to me learning how to can some foods.
