About Nikiya

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping people. What I like about being a caregiver isthat you never know how a person is feeling and when you come through the door their whole day just brightens up. A personal achievement I am proud of is having my same client for a year & a half now & he doesn't want anyone else but me, that's how I know im doing my job right. I'm a very caring & understanding person. I've been working with elderly people for 11yrs now & I wouldn't trade it for anything.
