About Brittany

I love being around the elders. My grandparents raised me until I was married. I grew up appreciating the spunk, wit, and mostly, the wisdom that the older generation have. I see many of them mistreated, and left alone because the younger generations think they are weird. They have helped helped their younger generations, now it's time to help them. I fell in love with the idea of becoming a full time caregiver, because I was one when I was only 11 years old. My great grandmother had lost her husband, and couldn't take care of herself anymore. They get lonely. One of the things I enjoy most about having been a caregiver before is developing a companionship! The older generation have so many stories to tell, and there is so much to learn from. Plus, when they feel lonely, I want to be able to encourage them, and let them know that they are loved. One of the achievements that I am grateful for accomplishing is helping while giving them their independence. Mostly with dressing and bathing. That is my main goal, to care for them while they still have the feeling of independence and dignity.

I helped my great grandmother while she was still living after her husband's death. I helped her as much as she needed while still maintaining her independence and dignity. Many of the tasks performed were bathing, dressing, grooming, helping with medication, meal preparation, companionship, etc.

My name is Yanjanani, in short Yanja. I have 14 years of experience as a CNA/caregiver. I am hardworking, reliable, cheerful, and very passionate about my job. In addition, i have First aid and CPR certifications. I love to assist older adults in their daily living activities because it is a wonderful thing to do. What i enjoy most about being a caregiver is that i learn alot from the people i care for. Such as culture, language, food, and more. The most personal achievement i am proud of is being able to help someone and make them feel happy and safe. Also, being trusted as a care provider who follows procedures and put safety first .
