About Amanda

I've always enjoyed and still do enjoy being a caregiver because I've been taking care of my elders as a child, and it's always a rewarding feeling when I make someone happy and feel safe especially knowing that I've done my best to help. I've always been a helper, giver and sharer that puts those with need before my own and have no problem doing what I can to make sure my patients feel safe and letting them know they have someone they can rely and count on. What I enjoy the most about being a care giver is being able to make people happy, I'm genuine and down to earth, I appreciate things that can be challenging only to overcome and brighten someone's day, I am passionate about well being and mental health. One of my personal achievement that I'm proud of is helping Alzheimer's patients feel safe, when there are dark days I am always there and dependable where sometimes they don't remember me but still am able to make everything comfortable for them by knowing their personalities and triggers.
