I am naturally compassionate, patient, and observant. I've learned to stay calm under pressure and respond to others with empathy and understanding. My strong work ethic and attention to detail help me provide consistent, high-quality care. I also communicate well with families and medical professionals, making sure each person's needs are fully understood and respected. * What attracted you to being a caregiver? I was raised in a home where caregiving was a way of life--my mother owned three adult foster homes, and I helped care for residents from a young age. I saw firsthand the difference it made in people's lives to be treated with dignity, warmth, and attentiveness. That experience showed me the value of serving others, and I knew I wanted to continue in a role that allows me to support those who need it most. * What do you enjoy most about being a caregiver? The connections I build with the people I care for. I love learning their stories, making them feel heard and respected, and bringing comfort to their daily lives. Knowing that I can help someone feel safe, valued, and supported brings me deep fulfillment. * What is a personal achievement you are proud of? I'm proud of the way I've balanced professional growth with family responsibilities, especially during difficult times. Helping my mom run multiple adult care homes while managing the needs of residents was both challenging and rewarding. I also take pride in being a reliable and trustworthy caregiver--someone families can count on to treat their loved ones like my own.
