About Britton

Hello! My name is Britton Black and I decided to become a caregiver a long time ago due to something I experienced in my very own family. On October 2010 I moved in with my Uncle and my sick Aunt. She had just been diagnosed with ALS at the time I moved in. I felt so beyond blessed to be able to help her and my uncle through the tough time they had ahead. At the same time I was attending LPN school and learned everything that I needed to know to help my uncle take care of my aunt. It was a very eye opening experience. It touched my life and I would never trade that experience I had with my family and especially with my aunt. I knew that after my aunt passed away that care giving was meant for me and I was definitely in the right field. I am currently a LPN waiting to take my boards so I can bridge to my RN. I think care giving is definitely my calling.

    I have a passion working with the elderly population. My professional experience has been in the Medical field as well as working over 10 years providing excellent personal care to geriatric clients and building long term relationship with the client and their families. What I love about being a care giver is I truly love people. Making a difference in their lives and putting a smile on their face, brings much joy to me plus giving the family a sense of peace knowing that their loved one is being cared for in a loving and professional manner. I have missed working with the elderly and am ready to make a difference in the lives of people providing service with a smile. I am completely a trustworthy, mature and dedicated person and am looking forward to meeting new new challenges. My greatest achievement was when my family had opened Quinn Healthcare services on 1996 where I had provided personal care to clients and patients in a residential setting .
