I absolutely love doing my job as a caregiver. I'm caring , patient , and I have a great sense of humor which all my clients love. My mom who is a Nurse at the VA hospital is who I look up too. She taught me most of what I know today. My first job was actually taking care of my grandmother for a year until she got better then I decided to apply with a company and start my journey. I met so many wonderful patients I still keep in contact with the families, I can honestly say I never had any complaints. Bonding is so important because you want someone you can trust and be comfortable with especially in your home. I always show respect and treat my clients the way I would treat my grandmother.
