About Arleen

Being a caregiver suits my personality as I enjoy one on one connections with people, love helping others and being able to carry out helpful as well as considerate acts for others. My character holds a lot of empathy and I am very compassionate about my duties. I have worked many years as a nurse in geriatrics, pediatrics, as well as adults and my experience has solidified my love for this area. By being able to love and follow my heart in a job, I have been able to carry out very successful cases, make companions with patients and their loved ones as well as be able to see my job carry out and pay forward. With this attitude and mindset for others, I have been able to see positive growth and attitudes from patients which therefore have, from time to time, also improved their health. I aim to continue to make this impact on others while ensuring happiness for those in my care.

Being a caregiver is one of the good decisions of my life, since I cared for my mom till she passed, I found compassion in caring for people to feel better, which then again gives me certain type of happiness. The fact that I put smiles on the faces of people makes being a caregiver a pleasant one to be. The most greatest achievement I have obtained during my service is trust, and I am proud to say so, because without trust what is the purpose of being a caregiver. I am a 34yrs with kids , and lots of experience as a caregiver. I can say so because I have been in this business for 12 yrs, and I have numerous reference to provide if needed.

I became a care giver because that is my passion assisting people in need whether young or old. What I like being a caregiver is that making sure my clients are safe and comfortable at all times in their own homes or were ever they maybe The personal achievement I have accomplished is that I become part of my clients family this is because I once have a client who is in hospice when I took over in caring for her she was removed from hospice. I really have special skills in caring for my clients whatever mood, pain or depressed they are I always do my utmost best to make sure they are ok. And for this reason my clients and their family always like me and don't want to lose me.
