About Jessika

If I could do anything for free for the rest of my life, I'd be providing for others. I enjoy making the lives of others easier. Coming from a family who has several individuals with a wide variety of ailments, I've seen first hand the toll it can have on a family unit but I also know how to care for individuals who cannot care for themselves at the current moment. Throughout the years, I've acquired patience, flexibility, creative thinking and a large amount of optimism needed to continue pushing forward with day to day tasks. I do not mind being someone to talk to for an hour or more, a therapist for venting sessions and tales of the past, even a friend to someone who needs that company when their family is away. There's no price for compassion and I provide plenty of it.

I think anyone who is a caregiver should love the job, and I can say that I definitely love the work that I do. I grew up with my grandparents who lived to be 99 and 102 years old. I enjoyed caring for them and I extend that love to the other people whom I care for. I have been a caregiver for over thirteen years, and I just love what I do. My mother is 93 years old and unfortunately the distance between us makes it impossible for me to care for her. So as a caregiver, I care for people as if they are my mother. I provide my patients with the highest level of care, the same kind that I would want my mother to receive.

I became a caregiver when I started caring for my grandmother as a young girl. It was not easy when I first started but I like the fact that caregiver needs patience to care for his or her client, which has helped me in my personal life. I have work as a caregiver for five years and I love this job because of how I put smile on people face, helping people in their daily lives. I have work with clients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson, Dementia, Stroke, Diabetes, Cancer and a lot more. I am also interested in furthering my education and becoming a nurse practitioner.
