About Patricia

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping people, and after having a premature baby I wanted to know how to help myself and my own family. What I like about being a Caregiver is seeing the difference that I make in someone's life with the help, care, and companionship that I give. A personal achievement of mine was being able to help a individual that I was working with that had moderate to severe mental retardation achieve her daily goals and living a safe and productive life, when every other Caregiver had a hard time doing so. My name is Patricia Staton, I'm 29 years old. I'm a reliable service focused nursing professional with excellent patient care, and charting skills gained through 4 years of experience working as a CNA. Compassionate and technically skilled in attending to patients in diverse health care settings. BLS and CPR certified. I also have over 6 years of customer service experience.

    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.
