Hello, my name is Toccara Erving I am a very outgoing person, with a lot of patience and compassion. Since a young age, I have always wanted to be a Nurse and or something pertaining to helping others. Other qualities I have is attentiveness, always willing to change to bring improvement, dependability, always wanted my patients to know I will be here for all their needs and wanted help, and trustworthiness. Currently going to school for my RN and have 2 more years until I finish, so I love working with people that I can care for and help because honestly, it is my passion and calling. One of my personal achievements that I am very proud of is graduating high school at the age of 16 years old and being able to start my Nursing degree at a young age because like I stated I have always had a passion for helping others and becoming a Nurse.

Private Client
For my current job, I was taking care of 2 clients one with Autism and another with Cerebral Palsy. My day to day work day would consist of me coming in and preparing my client food which is pure because he has a G tube. While I am preparing my client food I would stop and get them off the bus at around 3:30 and change my patent with Autism out of her school close and into some pajamas. Also, I passed meds for both of my patients and suctioned, cleaned g tube, and catered to the needs of my patient.

My patient was in stage 4 cancer with tumors in the brain. I would assist in taking her to appointments and the grocery store whenever they needed it. My patient suffered a little bit from Alzheimer's so I would assist in giving her meds and being a reminder. Furthermore, I assisted in the main ADL'S that the patient needed and wanted help on.

Hello, my name is Melba! My experience with caregiving started the year of 2010. I started caring seniors to make a difference in their lives. For people with high levels of care needed, my support in invaluable. Treating them with attentive, proper, and respectful care is a significant role to ensure they retain their dignity and independence during the latter stages of life. For me, helping seniors and others is a great accomplishment and feels highly rewarding, knowing that I could turn a unbearable day into a great one. Caregiving taught me knowledge from listening to experiences and stories one might gladly share. Memories are priceless and can give a wonderful insight and transport you to a time from a person's different perspective. To me, having that kind of opportunity gives life more meaning. As we can connect with an individual in such a way, we also learn to appreciate and be more empathetic towards others. And to be an encouraging helping hand when someone needs it the most!
