About Courtney

I became a caregiver solely because I love caring for others and because I'm great at it too! Ever since I was young I can remember always taking care of others and coming from a big family it was always something that was needed. I enjoy making others day-to-day lives go smoother with my help and whatever is needed I always go above and beyond the expectations! I have 4 years of experience working with the Department of Rehabilitation Services and also many years of experience working with children and adults with special needs!

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 .
