About Brenda

I became a Caregiver because I have a heart of compassion to help those that are not physically or mentally able to help themselves. Being a caregiver allows me to use the training, skills, desire, and passion I have to help promote care, hope, and also assist the individual back to their highest capacity of living. Personally I'm proud to have had the opportunity to care for my grandfather and father when they became ill by meeting their physical needs, bathing and bed making, preparing meals and feeding, personal hygiene, dressing, making sure they took their medication, running errands as well as doctors visits. I'm certified in CNA, PCT and Phlebotomy. I have good time management and a great team player and I believe that with my experience and skills I will make a good candidate for your company.

I became a Nursing Assistant when my grandfather was diagnosed with Cancer it was hard on my grandmother, but once I stepped in with bathing, helping with light housekeeping around the house or just letting my grandmother get out for an hour or two her load was lightened it was a blessing. I felt giving back to my grandfather for all the love and support he has given me all the years was truly from the heart, he later passed away within three months then my grandmother was diagnosed with Cancer and I stepped in for her with just myself and my little children and again it was a blessing but challenging at same time but God gave me strength through my trail and made me strong.If i can give that to everyone I come in contact with am complete because it's from the heart helping someone with a bath, dressing them for the day, of just having a conversation means a lot to so many.. I love what I do and can give another individual
