Caring for others has being my priority since my tender age and my passionate, my empathy and my zeal for others has been my motivation. One of my major reasons of being a caregiver is that...you should treat others the way you want others to treat you and I realized that care for others seems like sowing and you shall reap it when you grow old...Since the last four years that I had been working as a Caregiver, I realized that those that I am giving a care are not choosing to be in that situation but the sickness, the disease and the circumstances prone them to what they are now. These really make me to be more empathy and fear of God because where there's nobody watching you God is watching you...I am 36 years of age, dark in complexion, I had being working as a caregiver sine 2010,i had worked with different facility like Lankenau Hospital, Kindred Hospital, Care Pavilion Nursing & Rehab and Home Health Aid with Total Health Home Care... I live in 1036 pine street, Darby PA 19023 since 2010 up to date, just married with a God sent wife and life has being a wonderful place to live depends on how you handle it...it is a pleasure for the opportunity you gave me to talk little about myself and it will be a great joy for me if I can be schedule for an interview ...Yours Sincerely Austin Adeyemi
