I truly believe in making a difference in the world. My goal is to I really just want to be of service to those in need in my community and bring a loving, patient, genuine kind attitude into others lives. It is in my nature to help others and I'm a natural healer with a big heart. I have experienced traumatic situations in my life that allows me to be compassionate and understanding. I truly believe in making a difference in the world. My goal is to gain as much experience in caring for others as possible and when I feel I'm ready, I want to become a foster parent for as many children as they will allow. It is our duty as a community to care for each other especially the elderly whom have cared for so many during there life and so many of us forget this which creates unhealthy situations for the elderly needing care. Respect is not always taught to the younger generations and we need to be respectful to others and the environment we inhabit. I am good at listening and doing what is asked of me to the best of my ability, as well and seeing what needs to be done and doing it efficiently and effectively. I am grateful for any opportunity to be of service to others needs. I'm certified as a caregiver and assisted living manager. I'm a fast learner and can adapt to any situation with ease. My heart is pure and genuine.
