About Jessica

1.I became a caregiver because my grandmother and great grandmother were becoming sick and could no longer perform daily activities by themselves. 2.I really enjoy the relationships that I build with my clients. Everyone that I have met is very sweet with beautiful personalities! 3.A personal achievement that I am very proud of was becoming a honor student at my school, I am currently finishing up my Medical Assistant program and as of this month I am the valedictorian of my class. 4. I absoloutely love helping others and building relationships with clients. I have a passion for being a caregiver. As i mentioned before I have family members that I assist with daily and I cherish each moment of it. I can honestly say that i am also a life coach. Rather its helping someone with a daily task such as a household chore or encouraging one not to give up on a short term goal.

    I think because I always had the need to care for people who could not help themselves. What makes me a perfect care giver is just being their for someone who needs me they are people who have needs. I'm also attending Dorsey as a Medical assistant. I'm determined to be involved in any way i can to insure that the client is safe in my care. I'm here to help. I am currently in an assistant living situation I'm caring for the dogs as well. So my care continues. I once had a client she loved me so much she was very upset another resident had to care for her. I had no idea she liked my personality that much.
