About Patricia

My first job in the medical field was during the summer of 1984 at a nursing home in Williamstown, Massachusetts and I have been doing various kinds of work in the medical field since then, because I love taking care of others and especially the elderly when others seem to give up on them. It's something I will always do as long as I can still do for myself, even if it's just a couple of days a week or PRN. I have learned to be very patient from childhood till now, know that what they say or do is not intentional and definitely treat them as those you love and care for in my own family. Knowing that I love helping others, I chose the elderly because they need us more. I enjoy listening to their stories and becoming someone they can trust to help them in time of need. Achievements I'm proud of is completing various courses in the medical field like HHA Certified, PCA training in a hospital for about 4yrs, CNA training in a nursing facility and graduating from college.

What makes me a great caregiver I will say that I really care about people I tried to listen to what their needs and wants are and try to provide them with the best of my ability. I'm a caring loving person I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated, I became a caregiver when I was 13 years old taking care of my grandmother and her friends that was Eastern star members. I would go to their homes and prepare their food and take out the garbage and clean their homes in the summertime I found a lot of joy in helping them. The most thing that I enjoy about being caregiver is being there for someone that really needs me, listening to their stories, providing the care that they need. It gave me great joy to know that I am need it and want it. My personal achievement is to start my own group homes for the homeless, for the children, and for the seniors, and for the mentally ill. I want to see if community their work together stays together I think everyone needs each other to make this world a better place to live .
