I am Annia Bastien, I am a nursing student at Washington Adventist University. I always enjoyed helping people, which is why I wanted to either be a teacher or a nurse. I love providing home caregiving services. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. As a caregiver I enjoy meeting new people, I enjoy learning about them. I have the ability to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person's frame of reference. I am very dependable because I am know it is difficult enough for a person to lose independence without having the added burden of finding someone reliable to help them. Patience which is extremely important. It is a must when you work in the health care field.
