About Norkeita

I became a caregiver initially as a second income. I had been a licensed hair stylist for about 15 years. However I fell in love with this line of work. Some of the things I love about being a caregiver giver are: Being able to help someone do things that for whatever reason they can't do alone anymore. Also I enjoy passionately completing the tasks asked of me because it brings joy to the patient( people can see whether you are sincere or not) Lastly, one of the reasons I enjoy the work I do is I enjoy being a positive energy to others. When people are sick or "disabled" they tend to be down and/ or negative a lot. A personal achievement I am absolutely proud of to have raised 3 children successfully while growing through so many issues of my own. I've seen how my life is progressing and I'm excited to share my story with others when appropriate. I'm currently finishing up final paper work towards getting my degree as a bereavement counselor. It is a big deal to me that so many people need help, are hurting, grieving behind different types of loss and yet they either don't know or don't how to get help to live a full and complete life.

    I am a compassionate, trustworthy, and professional Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who provides hourly and live-in care to seniors of all ages and ailments. For the past 15 years, I have dedicated my life to providing quality care to the elderly and others who have expressed their interest in my services. I am familiar with all aspects of patient care and have extensive experience in caring for patients with advanced illnesses such as: Dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson. In addition to providing care to these illnesses, I also provide the following services: Respite care, Hospice care, Incontinence care, Stroke care, Diabetes care, post-Hospital care and all Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). In 2004, I re-focused my career into health care by becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and acquiring my State License for both Virginia and Maryland. The decision to go into this field came about after my granddaughter was born and I made the decision to become her Caregiver. I cared for her from birth until her mother made the decision to enroll her in a day care program, and at which time, I decided to focus my attention on taking care of others and joining the Nursing Profession. Because of my past job experiences as a Caregiver and a Senior Care Provider, which I combined with my course work, I am very confident that I can provide excellent services to all clients. I have enhanced my ability to providing compassionate and dedicated care to others and have worked diligently to provide excellence in all my professional endeavors and, have earned a reputation for my results driven work ethic; I have also received frequent commendations from patients and their families for providing exceptional care and have received employee awards for dedication and performance as a caregiver, because caring for others has always been my passion since childhood.
