About Winsome

I have an overwhelming passion for the suffering of mankind and have repeatedly exhibited extreme patience with others. The job of a Caregiver is a profession for people with a strong desire to give kind and desirable assistance to help improve the quality of other people's lives, especially in the life of the elderly; and I know I am one of those Caregivers, if not the ultimate. When I performed the duties of caregiving, it takes me to another level of satisfaction and fulfillment in own my life, because I am always committed to achieving excellence in whatever I do and wish to pursue, especially making the sick and dying as comfortable as possible. When a loved one is hill, the process can brings about a state of dispair on the family. I will always assist in giving some degree of confort-care to the family member by listening to their concerns, or even lending a helping hand during that stressfull time; but the main focus will be that of the recipient of care. I am proud to be a CNA, a State Certified Caregiver, and I also have an RN degree in nursing which I am yet to sit for the state board. I have acquired a sense of self gratification in enhancing the lifestyle and quality of life for the elderly. It certainly gives me a wonderful feeling. It is my utmost passion to assist the elderly -- I do caregiving because of personal experiences, my knowledge, and the personal satisfaction it brings me, not just for the income. When I become financially secure, I intend to spend more time than I already do, volunteering in community outreach programs in the surrounding communities. I love children but more so the elderly. I am a caring person, very honest and trustworthy, with a wonderful sense of humor and a high degree of integrity and loyalty. I am outgoing, not afraid to tackle hard cases and willing to go the extra mile to learn new ones. The fact is, because caring for the elderly is one of my true passions, I became a nurse.
