About Joyce

What makes me a great caregiver is that I truly care about the well being of all people. I took care of my dad who had Parkinson's disease for four years before he died. My mom was lonely so now she lives with me. She takes care of herself but I take her out to lunch, shopping, and doctor appointments. I believe change is hard for the elderly and it's truly a blessing if they can stay in their own homes during their latter years. I want to be that blessing for them!

    $15.00/hour · Joliet, IL
    I became a caregiver after volunteering throughout high school at an assisted living and memory care facility. My first year of college I worked as a personal caregiver for a woman with muscular dystrophy. We grew very close and fostered an unforgettable friendship. After transferring to a different college, I began working at an assisted living facility with the elderly. After these experiences, I knew I was destined to become a nurse. I absolutely love people and I am glad to help in any way I can. I am proud of my achievement of being selected as a Resident Assistant amongst a large group of competitors at the university I attended. I have also been on the Dean's List and Honor Roll throughout college. I am a very social person. I love to be around people and make new friends. I am outgoing and patient. I spend a lot of time with my entire family including my parents, siblings, and my 3 year old son. When I am not with my family, I am probably studying! I eventually hope to become a nurse practitioner. I have experience with Alzheimer's, Dementia, Developmental Delays, Autism, Asperger's, and Muscular Dystrophy. I would be glad to share my resume and references with you. I am currently looking for a short term caregiver position as I will begin a job in nursing in late March, 2018.
