I'm working as a Hha with patient that suffer from traumatic brain injuries. Being a care giver to me is more than just providing care to someone. Caring for another is about showing compassion, respect, being by their side. Patience is also a key in the aspect of taking care of the patient. I always had a passion for taking care of loved ones. I believe that i am very emphatic and compassionate working with people in their home I want to make sure I give the best care that I can in every possible way, by showing compassion and empathy I allow my patient to understand that I'm here for you, also allowing them to know that I care. I am very patient, I been working with patients with traumatic brain injuries for about 2 years and I've learn to cope and understand how they feel. I'm flexible as well. I enjoy being a caregiver the reason for that being is because at the end of the day I know that I've made that patient comfortable/happy even on their worst days. I know that I did the best that I can in helping them. A personal achievement that I really proud of as a caregiver is helping a little girl with cerebral palsy walk. I work with her for about a year, everyday we tackle small milestones until she walk. She still need some assistance but the most impaortant things is that she can do it on her own with her walker.

Hello, My name is Kim Morris My first position as a caregiver was in 2018 when I was looking for a "side gig" and meet a wonderful lady at my gym that happened to work for a companion care agency that was hiring. I was immediately hired. At the time I had no idea that I would fall in love with being a companion care professional. I personally love the fact that we get to meet and spend time with some really special people that otherwise in many cases we wouldn't have ever had the opportunity to even meet. I feel a sense of joy and gratitude for being able to give back through the work of companionship. Being able to support someone that may be experiencing great difficulty or just in need of a friend, due to aging which is something I believe we all hope to do one day, really puts things into perspective. When I am not spending time with my extended family (my elder clients/ companion care clients) I am working my own business Yoniversity Online Training Academy. Where I train wellness professionals, doulas, and women interested in living a holistic lifestyle alternative methods to care for their reproductive health + how to become profitable in the womb wellness industry by creating multiple revenue streams. I've spent the last seven years guiding young women along their own womb wellness journey, and helping them start successful wellness businesses of their own.
