About Myra

I have worked as a nanny/house manager or nanny/home helper for over 10 years. I am currently between families and started to think I should expand my search for a new job. I decided to look into senior care as it is as close to what I have done for the last several years. I have been responsible for children of families, laundry, pick up of things in home, errands, driving children to and from school or activities, pet care, and all general household functions. I have enjoyed working with children and families for many years now. I find myself to be someone who can adapt to what a family needs and have had to do so for this type of position. I have prepared snacks and meals also. I have done some type of caregiving most of my life. It seems to suit me. I would hope that I could help seniors and their families just as much.

I love being a caregiver/CNA. I've been a CNA for over 25 years. It gives me alot of pleasure taking care of the elderly. I'm a very caring & compassionate person. The reason why I started becoming a caregiver was because my brother just got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I used to take care of him before he went into the nursing home. I'm very hard working & enjoy listening to my clients history, for example where they are from & what they used to do for a living. I would treat your loved one like I would my own with up most respect. I really enjoy getting to know my clients & I feel like they are part of my family. If I can make them smile & laugh then I know I'm doing my job because some of my clients don't have much family or friends & they get very lonely & depressed. My personal achievement is taking care of sick & elderly patients.
