I am currently seeking a night time position with the right family, where we would connect and have a great relationship. caregiver has been a wonderful experience. Seniors has a unique way of looking at the life and I have grown to love and very excited and passionate about my job. I was able to be around my grand parents and take care of them and now I believe that doing this is my passion and I know that my grandparents was happy I was willing to take care of them we all brought something new to each others daily life. As I continued to take care of others. There is nothing like hands on training.

Possessing a nuturing nature, caregiving comes naturally to me. Also I have been in the personal care profession for quite some time now. I am a compassionate person and enjoy providing care to people. It gives me great satisfaction to think I am helping someone and that the job actually enabled me to make a difference in the daily lives of my residents. I love working with the elderly, I took care of my Grandmother and my mother when they were sick. There is a great sense of achievement to know I am helping people.
