About Deboea

A caregiver is anyone who provides assistance to another person so that person can maintain an independent lifestyle and that's what I wanted to do. What I like about being a care giver is the communication between the caregiver and patient. It helps maintain the independents by building trust. My personal achievement is living a healthy life style so I can help others that is less fortunate, I am a mother of three children, pursuing my masters in public health. I am very compassionate about people who is fragile and need assistance. I have always made a sacrifice for the good of others. The sacrifice were being a mother first, than pursuing my profession. The good thing about that is my children was safe and nurtured to go and be what they desire. I never wanted them to regret anything that could have been prevented. When I am working as caregiver, I take that same attitude with me. It is very important that I do my job respectfully so my patients will feel that someone cares.

    What makes me a great caregiver is how I treat people with the respect and love they deserve. What attracted me to being a caregiver is my mom, i watched other people take care of her so I wanted to give the same love back to others who are in need. What I mostly enjoy about being a caregiver is helping people. A personal achievement I am proud of is how many people I've helped in my lifetime with my caregiving career:)

    Hello, My name is Benta Russell. I began my personal-care career with Synod Residential Service, in August 2013. I have always done personal-care work since I was a young girl. Growing up in Kenya, it was my responsibility to care for my family's elderly. Every day I would take care of my grandparents by fetching them water from the river, cooking their meals. I also did their laundry, cleaned their dishes, and house. One of the many things I have learned throughout the years is that it is very important to be patient and understanding when providing aid to an individual. All the people I have helped have had different strengths and weaknesses, and as the personal-aide, it was my responsibility to understand this in order to adapt to the individual's needs. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is developing a relationship with the client. As the relationship grows it becomes more than a job and is like finding a new friend. This is important to me because it makes the work that much more enjoyable for both the client and myself. My greatest achievement so far was getting my degree from Washtenaw Community College. There were many days and nights when I wanted to throw my textbooks in the garbage and walk away from school, but I didn't do that. I stuck it through to the end and am very proud to have earned my degree.
