About Brenda

I love that I am able to make a difference in someone else's life. Being able to end the residents trust, get them to smile have them do things they were unable to do. I no this lady who came into the assisted facility, she needed to use the restroom and the boss called 5 caregivers to assist her to the restroom, She was terrified. ax 25 kick it was to leave me alone with her for about 20 minutes. when they came in miss Pettigrew was in bed already. I got her to the rest room all cleaned up and in her pajamas. she learn to trust me I was no longer afraid she became my personal client. I am out going, I love to help and go above and beyond. You need to have a heart of compassion for this type of work and I know and believe that this is where I'm supposed to be. I wouldn't do anything elseand hope to own my own PCH one day.

And at that point in my life I new this was an opportunity to help other senior.I consider myself very honest and reliable caregiver because I'm a hard worker very dependable Active individual with a caring heart, I choose the caregiver as a career because I would like to give back to our senior who has work all their lives, taking care of their families and reach a point in there lives where they need a little assistance them self. What I love about being a caregiver is the time I spend with my care senioes, and at times just to listen to what they have say and provide that Companionship we all need. Also helping them with daily tasks, And also I can learn a few things from them as well.
