About Telissa

1. I decided to become a caregiver 18 years ago when my grandmother became ill and couldn't take care of herself. After taking the required classes I decided this is what I wanted to do, 18 years later I am still at it and love it. I have had many of jobs like working in a school, clerical work, but my passion is working will the elderly and being able to help them it maintaining their independentcy. 2.I like the fact of being a caregiver to provide the service to people who can't provide their everyday living tasks like bathing and feeding themselves, making sure they are safe and well cared for. 3. My personal achievement is when I decided to go to college in 2009 to attain a career in the medical and coding program, which I have completed and still there getting my Associate In Science degree in the Medical Office Profeesional. 4. Very independant, reliable and family orientated. I have a compassion for helping people of all ages, but mainly the elderly. I am very eager to learn many things, responsible and very energetic.

    Hello I'm Carelle and I'd be delighted to work with you. I love helping people and give them a sense of dignity. My passion and love for care giving came from my uncle. He had an accident and was tetraplegic. He couldn't do the simplest task he used to do like brushing his teeth or grooming his beard or even eat. It was really difficult for him in the beginning and we had to step in and help him adjust through the new phase of his life. Through adequate care, listening to him and making sure he felt loved, valued and worthy despite his situation, we created an environment in which he could still feel he mattered. And for that I'm proud. And these are the same values that I apply when I work.
