I was inspired to become a caregiver after attending my husband needs when he became ill. What I like about being a care provider is looking forward in making a different in my clients day. Assisting with active and skills that they find difficult too do alone. Several personal achievement I'm most proud of is putting a smile on my client face. Letting them know that there is great people in the world that care. The most interesting thing about me is I love people. I found it compelling in clients past and future. I most happy when I can make others happy. I make sure I take care of me so that I can help others. I believe in honesty, I believe in golden rule treat one, as the way you want to be treated. I’m reliable and dependable.

I became a caregiver because I wanted to provide my professional and quality care to the disable and to seniors. What I like about being a caregiver is, it really doesn't feel like work. It feels more like I just came over to assist a person in need. The personal achievement I am proud of is, that I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for the last 16 years. I am also a Certified Medication Aide, certified in 2005. I now have a better understanding of medications, and the affects they have on the body. What I would like to tell you about myself is, One day in 1992; before I became a caregiver, and before my grandmother passed away, I was assisting her put on her socks. I didnt understand it then, but somehow now I do; At that moment I knew I would be assisting people in need. I have been helping seniors & the disable now for 16 years. It's very rewarding to see a family member pleased with my work. I am a mother of three daughters and grandmother of two g-sons and one g-daughter. I am a nurturer by nature, and I enjoy making others feel happy, comfortable, and joyful in their homes and special space.
