About Mikia

Hi, my name is Mikia I have been in the caregiving field 3 years. I enjoy getting to know and listen to the ones I am providing services to. What attracted me to being a caregiver was when I was ten years old , having to assist my grandmother who leg was amputated. I enjoyed helping at a young age toileting, assisting her with grooming and hygiene. Since that moment I realized that this was something that I had a passion for even in my adult age. I love seeing the smiles knowing that I was able to make that persons day, allowing them to experience good care from a positive minded , caring person. I'm proud of what I do and I would like to make my residents proud knowing that they have a caregiver that they can trust

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.

Clients realize I'm their priority I'm there to help with DAL's while allowing them to be in charge. After my assistance with bathing and grooming the client easily picks out clothing for the day ahead. I prepare meals and remind clients to take medication if needed. I make sure a nutritious breakfast is served . They love reminders of family. Viewing family pictures and things in their home that makes it a home again. Clients love when we go for walks to get exercise rather in a wheel chair or walker. Range of motion exercises helps keep the body moving and agile. I'm just their to make them sure of themselves again.
