About Nikita

What makes me a great caregiver is because I believe in caring from the heart and going above and beyond for each of my clients. I am a very patient person and understand that at times it can be a bit difficult for a client to have to rely on someone else to help but, with time my clients look at me as part of the family. My clients are my family in my eyes and I treat them all with the best of care because that is what they deserve and nothing less. I became a caregiver because I have a true love and compassion for our Senior Citizens. Many have paved the way for all of us and now they command quality care and that is what I am here for. A very dear friend/client that I cared for since October of 2013, recently passed away this October 2015. Since then, I have taken time off but, am now ready share my care again. She once told me that I have the patience of Job and always thanked me for my services. She called me her angel on earth however, I expressed to her that she is truly the Angel on earth and does not have to thank me at all because it is an honor for me to care for her. This is why I love doing what I do because it is making a difference in many lives even if just a small one. I appreciate the wise words and kind hearts of our Senior Citizens, they are the best story tellers in the world and to me that is what makes this great big world of ours go around and around. Some of my personal accomplishments are that I am a Certified nurses assistant on the IL registry,

Hi my name is Jazzmere and I've been a certified nurse assistant for 8 plus years. I got into the field because I like helping people and also I have family members in the nursing field. I do have a personal connection with being a caregiver, I took care of my grandfather who was battling Parkinson's disease. I took care of him in his final days here on earth and made him as comfortable as possible. I miss him very much. Besides being a caregiver, I enjoy spending time with my family and especially my 5 year old son. He is the most important person to me. If I'm not spending time with family I'm in school part time pursuing my nursing degree.
