I have a very pleasant personality and I get along with people very well young and old. I enjoy being a caregiver because I feel like I'm giving something back. I love cooking for the senior citizens that is where my expertise come in and they all seem to really enjoy my cooking and my company sometimes making them laugh at the end of my shift and knowing that they ate well makes me feel good that is one of my best achievements is knowing that I've done the best to take care of my client.I have work as a caregiver since I was 14 my parents owned two nursing homes I began working in the kitchen preparing meals for the patience by the time I was 15 I was changing colostomy bags I've always worked with my family in the business and as I prepared their meds also bathe sometimes I had to feed manually to a client that may not have been able to feed themselves. I also have taking care of special needs children that are autistic. I have also had a lot of experience with patients that have Alzheimer's and Dementia stroke patients as well as diabetics very important and how their meals are prepared also know that dementia patients sometimes they need redirection when they're having a bad day. I totally understand what a family is going through when they see their loved ones go through this and I'm hoping that I can be a helping hand and comfort to my clients and their families. I have also had experience with HIV clients as well I am 61 years old and basically I have seen it all and enjoy what I do I am dedicated and I want to be there for my clients and their family
