About Cynthia

I am a caregiver because i feel it is my small way of making a difference in someone's life.I have CPR and First Aid certification and six years worth of experience being a care taker.What i like most about caregiver work, besides making a difference is the skills i have acquired along the way.Care giving has taught me to be a better listener and has broadened my mind through different interactions with people. A personal achievement that i am proud of is getting my degree despite several setbacks and roadblocks I love to laugh, i appreciate all genres of music, and i love looking at life through other people's eyes,

    I'm a very compassionate person and love taking good care of people. I always manage to make my clients smile by treating them like adults, paying them respect, and being very patient. Being a caregiver or a nurse assistant is not just a job; it is a passion. I have a CNA as well as med-tech, CPR, and First Aid training.

    I took care of my sick mother until she passed away. Later, a friend introduced me to the field of caregiving. Though I had formerly been a school teacher, caregiving fit like a glove. A client once asked me why I chose this profession, and I told her that I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I offer personal care, housekeeping services, and companionship. When my client was dying, I held her hand the entire time, not knowing that the daughter had entered the room and observed my action. After her death I received a note from the daughter describing how she had been touched by my action. As a former teacher, I am punctual, compassionate, empathetic, and sentimental; I laugh and cry with my clients. My current job involves caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their homes. I have recently been providing a client with personal hygiene in the morning through CareLinx.
