About Brittaney

I became a caregiver because I am a very devoting person, working with people who have special needs and who is unsubstantial dependent. Also, I like being a caregiver in the interest of enjoying the opportunity to impact clients lives and make a difference to them. A personal achievement I'm proud of is always making my patient(s) and their family happy and smiling. In conclusion, I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. I always give my best and do the best job I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work.

    I took care of my sick mother until she passed away. Later, a friend introduced me to the field of caregiving. Though I had formerly been a school teacher, caregiving fit like a glove. A client once asked me why I chose this profession, and I told her that I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I offer personal care, housekeeping services, and companionship. When my client was dying, I held her hand the entire time, not knowing that the daughter had entered the room and observed my action. After her death I received a note from the daughter describing how she had been touched by my action. As a former teacher, I am punctual, compassionate, empathetic, and sentimental; I laugh and cry with my clients. My current job involves caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their homes. I have recently been providing a client with personal hygiene in the morning through CareLinx.
