About Lajoya

I became a caregiver because I always had the passion to help others and I have a brother who is autistic and every since he was a baby I literally took care of him like he was my own, that just gave me the desire to help others outside of my family and I truly enjoy what I do it gives me the opportunity to give back to others in need and it also makes me feel good helping others.

I love caring and helping people, regardless of age and situation. I completed my CNA training in October 2014. I am also a Mental Health Technician I, and currently working on my degree in Social Work. I have worked with kids and adults with disabilities for over 10 years and have really enjoyed being a part of their lives. I have volunteered throughout the years to help friends and family in medical situations when care was needed. I am a parent of daughter who was born with Sickle Cell Disease who fought it for 27 years of her life. She passed away from a Sickle Cell crisis and related complications from and a brain tumor which was removed November 2013. Being that I couldn't afford home health care I choose to gain much knowledge from the Neuro Surgeon from Rush University as well as Endocrinologist and Physical Therapist to care for my daughter, being that the tumor was a Pitituary Tumor (Craniopharyngioma) which controls alot of the body's function she developed Diabetes and other related issues. I don't have much experience in a nursing home or hospital but I know what it takes to be loving, caring and passionate as well as helpful.
