Peggy B.

I became a caregiver to be able to help someone in need as well as putting a smile on their face at the end of the day. I started out with assisting the elderly at the age of twelve and the person I provided care for was my great grandmother. I like the sense of satisfaction, confidence, and accomplishment when caring for people in need along with building new relationships with the client and their families. A personal achievement that I am very proud of is being able to give back to other who are in need. On behalf of myself and my Criminal Justice Association members we did a clothing drive for the Salvation Army we held the drive from April 24-May 1, 2014 we were able to collect lots of clothing for all ages and for females and males along with other household items all for families in need. I am a Criminal Justice major at Strayer University, I belong to the American Criminal Justice Association and I am also the vice president. I am a very outgoing person, I pay very close attention to detail when caring for others. I have been in the nursing field off and on for about twelve years if not longer.

I'm a great caregiver because I enjoy being patient with people that are not ambulatory or have difficulties in later age with their mobility. My mother was a nurse and I believe I was born for this career. I love taking care of clients and being able to help and be a listening ear to them. I treat people the way that I would someday want to be treated. I graduated PHI THETA KAPPA, and I received a Gold Letter Award in 1992 for my knowledge of 10,000 Medical Terms. I remained on the CNA certification list from 1989-2009 with no complaints on file. I attended AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY for my first 2 years and continued toward obtaining my Associate of Arts Degree from EAST GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE. I graduated May 2017 with a major in Psychology. Having this degree also qualifies me to work sufficiently in the Healthcare field.
