Teshima B.

I became a caregiver to provide services for those that can't provide for themselves. I love being a caregiver, because I love helping and caring for others. My personal achievement is giving back. I'm a mother of 10 children, I been a homemaker all my life, married for 17 years, now divorced. I love reading, cooking, and caring for others. I'm an adult homecare provider at the present time.

I am caring, compassionate, and understanding. I realize that caring for anyone you are not just caring for the patient/case but for someone's loved one. This means that you are also caring for the family. The family must trust you and understand that all communications regarding their loved one is honest, accurate and confidential. I have been in the business of caring since 1998 both in Hospitals,private care facilities and in the home. Each location requires and demand a different approach but what never will not be compromised is that my case has priority, my companionship and the well being is always at the forefront. I have the ability to communicate with all levels of the medical community from patient transportation to the attending physician and nursing staff. I am CPR/First Aid Certified also with the latest automated on sight equipment. I feel that the person that I am caring for must and should remain a viable member of their community and should have as much professional and social interaction in that community that is reasonable contingent on their health and mental condition.
