I have a long history of being a caregiver. I cared for my great-grandmother rom 1980-1987. My great-grandmother was also bed written; which taught me how to properly turn a patient to prevent bed sore, I also learned how to bed bath, use the hoya lift. I firmly believe that during this time I learned patience as well as an understanding of what is requires to care for a geriatrics patient. For as far back as I can remember I have always had a heart for the less fortunate and those that are in need. I contribute learning to be concerned about the those less fortunate to my great-grandmother; she always care for the people in our neighborhood who was down on their luck, and always would take the time to encourage someone. I am very proud of completing an Associates degree in Human Services. I am a mom and grandmother. I enjoy going to church and assisting as well as encouraging individuals in reaching their highest potential. I am not a CNA but I do have skills as a caregiver. I also care for a cancer patient for several months; which included bathing, changing dressings, transferring from wheel chair to bed, lighting housekeeping, and being a companion.
