About Chiquita

I love helping people. I became a Caregiver because I believe that the elderly needs the most help. The Elderly have medical issues, memory issues, and issues with daily duties. The elderly gets taken out of their homes and put in to nursing homes. When majority of them want to be at home living their live normally. This is where I come in a person that the elderly can trust, befriend, and appreciate. I learn new things. The things I like the most about being a Caregiver is the learning experience. I hear so many old yet interesting stories about history, I learn how to not take any wooden nickles as they may say. I have give to not receive. A personal achievement that I am proud of is. I help clients and love to see the smiles on their faces, that they are home, and able to talk to someone that helps them. It feels my heart with joy to know that I do such a great job with just that feeling in return. I accomplished the art of giving and not expecting anything in return. I am an upcoming entrepreneur. My name is Chiquita Russ, I am a middle aged woman that has a dog.I can cook, clean, write, multitask, and give great advice. I am an aunt of many nieces and nephews. I love to work in an environment that is revolved around helping and satisfying the costumer. I am an ambitious, enthusiastic, learner. That believes that I am going to be a spectacular business woman.

What makes me a great caregiver is that I care and i enjoy being around the elders and I want to treat them the way I hope to be treated when or if I reach their age or become ill. They are precious.
