I provide Housekeeping,Meal Prep, Medication Reminders, Toileting, Hair Grooming, Bathing, Transferring, Hoyer Lift, Walking, ROM Exercise My personal achievement that I am most proud of is that I achieved three certifications within the same year of November 2013 my GED,Certified Clinical Medical Assistant,Certified Phlebotomist. In February 2015, I became a Certified Home Health Aide with 40 hours of training. I am highly motivated and eager to learn and work well independently. What I would tell my younger self is becoming a Caregiver is one of the best jobs that you can have and stick with it, do a Great Job because God will Bless You and give you the desires of your heart, just like he said he would in the Bible. Take care of Gods People with Love and Joy!
