About Kedra

I became a caregiver because I have a gift in caregiving meaning I was put here to help others. This is my calling and I am good at what I do. The love I give to my patients is ginuwine .I like caregiving because when I help someone get better or complete daily activities makes me feel good inside. To know I was apart of their healing is a blessing in itself.My personal achievement was going to college while maintaining a Job and being a full-time parent. Even when life threw me for loops during that process and I am proud to say I still accomplished my goal. We'll every since I was a lil girl I had a strong liking for any thing that related to medical. I can remember one time helping a bird that fell out of the tree when my friends wanted to torcher it. helping my mom get over the flu by bringing her the flu med, water and soup and she told me I was 5 yrs old when I did that, I thought I was about 9. As I got older my liking for medical became stronger, I started studying illnesses, home remedies, diseases and how to prevent them. Someone said that I should be a dr. And I did want to become a dr but got I to school for a CNA. During that time I found that I had a gift for helping others. the Cna coordinator told me that I should of been a nurse. it would say I will but life throws so many loops that I remained a CNA. I love working with older ppl cause I learn from them. I like talking to them to learn their life as well.

    One of the reasons that makes me who I am as a caregiver is the compassion that I have in my heart for my clients and their families. I am a person of integrity, honesty, dependability and concern. It's about giving of myself to my clients and having a sense of the quality of life concerning the lifestyle they have. When I come into their presence a smile comes on their face. I will show the passion, give the encouragement, and hope they will have the confidence that I will know exactly what to do concerning their plan of care. I became a caregiver because of my mother's influence. Listening to her talk about her clients was interesting and heart warming and sometimes I felt sad and wanted to help, so I did! The rewards of being a caregiver is caring for those who cannot care for themselves or just needing a little help. Always understanding what care consists of at all times regardless of the situations and circumstances whether it's to assist or just HELP. I love what I do as a caregiver because I have a compassionate heart.
