About Elizabeth

I became a care giver because i am very persionate and empathetic toward people. As a teenager growing up, my dad was shot and after two years of rehabilitation in Strockmandaville in London, he returned home confined in a wheejchair. What i like most about being a caregiver is the smile and the differece i make in my clients' lives. I treat them like they are my parents or I am the one in their shoes. My personal achievement I am proud of was being able to beats all odds and finished my Associate Degree with three honors in2011, as a single mother. Besides the teenage phases with mt daughter, she is doing extremely well in scool. She is sixteen in 11th grade and taking AP classes. I hailed from Sierra Leone West Africa. I came to the US as a studentbut dropped out when we have war in my country. For two years i thought my parents were kiled. Thank God, they survived but lost everything. I got married and have one child, unfortunately my marriage did not last. As an African in the US, I have my own experiences with discrimination. I always like to help when there is a need . I have provided care for free. It is always good to give than to receive. When love is giving or share from the heart the reward from God is greater.
