About Carolyn

WHAT MAKES ME A GOOD Caregiver is dedication responsible and reliable and sympathetic. The reason I choose to become a caregiver is I like helping people I have 17 years of experience in all areas of caregiving whether it is light housekeeping companion care and personal care I have experience in all areas. The feeling I get from helping people is a rewarding and an overall good feeling knowing that I save a person from being thrown into the nursing home. My achievements from during homecare come from working with different elderly people it has taught me to appreciate life and be grateful for everything I have.
