About Amy

I don't know what it is about the elderly but I completely respect them and I love to care for them. They deserve to be taken care of like they have taken care of generation after generation. I am very proud of getting my medical assistant certificate just months after my mom passed away because I promised her that I would before she died, and although it was such a hard time for me I did it.I also took care of my Gramp along with hospice. I helped dress, feed, cook, give him meds, walk, with enemas and his cathader, bath him, and I was privleged enough to enjoy his wonderful company. I was the last one he looked at and my hand was the last one he held before he went to a much better place. I only can hope that I made him as comfortable as possible. He brought such joy to me. A lot of people tell me that they think I would get way to attached to the people that I was caring for but shouldn't you? I think so.

    What makes me a great caregiver is my heart. I have always cared about the well being of others, it makes me happy knowing that I am able to help people. What I like about caregiving is meeting new people, and being able to do all I can to comfort and help. A personal achievement I am really proud of is working with someone with CP. This person was in a wheel chair for a long number of years, this person gave up long ago. I came in and got to help this person and care for them helped with motaviating this person to start exercising and then we started taking small steps, thru out my years of caregiving with this person. I was able to help get this person out of the chair and to start walking again. It made me feel so good to see smiles from my client and the family because of how I dedicated myself to her, I was able to give hope and was able to see my client do somethings on their own. It is definitely a highlight to caregiving.
