I have been a caregiver for about 10 years. I started working as a CNA in 2008 at West Hills Heatlh and Rehabilitation in Portland, Oregon. After working for couple years as a CNA, I went to school for medical billing and coding. Then after school done, I continue working as a private caregiver in nursing home/assisted living or private home. I believe I am a great caregiver because I am empathetic, compassionate, friendly and trustworthy. I encourage most of my clients to do activities and I have work well with my clients Family to maintain the usual routine of my clients. I am more than just their caregiver, I become their friends. I became a caregiver because i truly enjoy working and helping people in needs. I enjoy working with the elderly population mostly because I feel that I really am making a difference in their lives and I learn from their experiences. What I like most about being caregiver is building relationships with people from different backgrounds. I am happy that I am able to help someone in need to get better and assisting my patients to continue their activities of daily living. My proudest achievement is being a single mother . I am a strong and a hard worker. I raised my four children by working two jobs.
