About Bridget

I am a compassionate, patient person who enjoys helping others who are in need of extra help on daily basis with routines and activities. I enjoy getting to know the person I am caring for and what they can and can not do for themselves. Seeing the person at ease and relaxed brings a smile to my face. Watching the person I am caring for achieve a goal they make for themselves or what the doctor tells them to achieve for them is what I enjoy most about being a caregiver. I am not a caregiver that wants to do everything for a person but to help them with whatever they might need help with. My biggest achievement is watching them laugh and smile, that means I am doing my job.
