About Vanessa

I became a caregiver after I cared for my grandmother in the hospital at age 12. I hit a couple bumps in the road and had my children at a young age and couldn't finish college. I took a CNA course to get my foot in the door and fell in love with my Job. I have cared for many patients from 3 years old to 101. I recently lost my buddy to pneumonia after caring for him for more than 2 years. He was a very special case in where he had Down syndrome and Dementia. I am looking to find some one very special to care for.

Personality traits: I try to put myself in the other person's shoes. I am a person of the highest integrity and dress in a professional manner. I know how to balance empathy and caring in such a way that as I care for the body, the mind and soul feels cared for as well giving a sense of comfort in knowing everything's going to be alright and they feel safe and secure. The thing that attracted me to being a care giver is, I like to "Help" people. I'm interested in the wisdom an elderly person has. I enjoy being a caregiver because helping others puts a smile on their face knowing they are safe and secure in my care at maybe their most vulnerable state. One personal achievement I am proud of is being excepted into the 2019 Strathmore's Worldwide Who's Who in my occupation as a Health Care provider. I have 15 years prior experience as a NA11. I've worked in agencies with Home Health and Hospice and in a skilled nursing facility. I have experience with every aspect that it takes to care for your loved one with over 20yrs. In all. The one thing that makes me a great care giver is I listen to their needs not my agenda and I love what I do.
