About Heather

I obtained my CNA certification a few years ago but it has since lapsed since i had been trying to obtain my Associate's degree (which I did this past spring). My father became disabled about six years ago and i have helped take care of him and take him to doctor's appointments and help him with his physical therapy ever since. I love helping and caring for people. I'm proud to say that i care enough to make sure that I get the job done correctly and to the best of my ability while always thinking of the person I am helping.

    Being patient,loving, caring, compassionate, and highly experienced make me a good caregiver. This is what I have been doing before I came to this country. Out of 6 siblings, I was the only one taking care of my Mom with the assistance of my daughter who is now a medical doctor and now in the university pursuing her masters degree in public health here in the U.S. I feel so much comfortable taking of people either young or old. It is my joy to contribute positively to general care of elderly people. I personally relate very well with my client and their families, that most of them treat me like members of their families. I still have contact with most of the families I have worked for. They sometimes take me out for my birthdays celebrations , some calls on my birthdays, some sends messages on my birthdays. I think this a great achievement, because if I did not do good jobs for them, they will not remember me to give me such wonderful honors.
