About Olivia

Hello! My name is Olivia and I believe that I am fully qualified to provide service to your loved one. I have worked in the healthcare field for about 3 years now, and I absolutely love it. I am going to school in the Fall of 2018 for Nursing and would like to specialize in hospice care. So, in addition to the personal care that I provide at my job, I am actively studying the nursing profession and learning more about these skills. I really enjoy working with those in need and have developed close relationships with those I have cared for, and the clients I currently work with. I provide a number of services including housekeeping, bathing, toileting, personal care, shopping & errands, and overall companionship. I really enjoy spending time with people of all cultures and backgrounds because I learn so much about them, and even myself! I enjoy being a caregiver because it makes me feel so good to help someone. My father had a stroke last year, so I understand the position of a loved one in need. Being a caregiver means a lot to me because everyone is someone's family member and I treat others as though they were my own family. A personal achievement that I am proud of is going to nursing school at nearly 30! I already have my B.A. in Psychology, and I knew that nursing was my calling. I am an honest, caring, and very positive person that I know you will enjoy working with!

My story started when my grandparents got sick. My grandparents raised me. When they got sick I took care of both of them for 2 years each. I love being around elderly people and enjoy their company. I believe in my career that is important to build a relationship with clients and their families . My clients become like my family. What makes my current clients family happy is that they know when I'm with their family they are good hands. The advice I was given by a current clients family was that I am very observant . What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to wake up in the morning and going to see my clients and talk with them also having a great feeling I helped them achieve their goals. I have strong feelings as long as my client can still do some things independently it is important to stand by them , let them still have their independence . I have a lot of patience and compassion with my clients and that's why my current clients families like me.
