About Octavia

why did I become a caregiver because it’s one of the most rewarding things a person can do I have a passion for putting others first 2. Seeing someone with an intellectual disability able to lead a happy, safe and fulfilling life is enough to make it all worthwhile. 3.I didn't think it I could handle being a caregiver when I first start but than over time i fell in love with being a caregiver it's more than just a job to me I over came a lot of fears and open my heart to the love of my patients/ residence 4. I am 25 young mother of 1 I plan to take my career as far as I can in the medical field I have a bold fun lovable personality. I love to smile I feel my smile can put a warm loving feeling in anyone . I thank you for giving me the time to tell you about me I am looking forward from hearing from you octavia jones

    My understanding of each client condition. My ability to communicate effectively with client. My patience, thoughtfulness, and a cheerful disposition. Knowledge of medical terminology and medical experience. My great sense of humor. Professional attitude and great demeanor. I had a friend who's mother was in a nursing home with dementia and her mother wondered out of the nursing home and was almost hit by a car. Since then, I developed this great part of caring for the elderly and naturally, I'm a loving and caring person. Just being able to see my client smile all day and to lighten their day up. Makes me joyful. I was able to get a client who was a diabetic, hypertensive, wounds, etc. Who was on serveral medications for various condition. Cut back on most of the medications and the doctors where amaz. Just pleases my heart. Most of all my dependebility.
