Keslande U.

I have been a patient care assistant/ Direct careworker for over 15 years and I love what I do. I enjoy being able to help people in need. I have worked with many clients that are recovering from strokes. I have also worked with many clients that are suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer's disease. I have worked with many clients that just need companionship also. I have also helped clients that are terminal to help make their transition peaceful and comfortable also helping to comfort the family. I am a very patient and understanding person which I feel is important, I also have a great calming effect if I am ever faced with any stressful situations which helps me to be more affective in my job. I am very trustworthy and honest. I have done errands on my clients behalf in a timely and accurate way. I will accompany the client to and from Dr. Appointment as well as doing errands and other outings. I am very dependable and prompt. I believe that You have to love what you do in order to be more effective with different clients because no two clients are the same and each one will get my undivided attention for as long as I am taking care of your loved one. I don't spend time on my cell phone, my attention goes to the client at all times, which is important. I also use universal safety precautions at all times. I am always reading and learning about better ways I can be more effective with my clients. I am a caregiver/ personal care assistant because I love helping people and I love making a difference in people's lives. I am also a licensed Adult care worker who specializes in working with adults.

I decided to become a caregiver when my mother became terminally ill with cancer in 2002. Seeing her in that state and not knowing how to comfort was an awful feeling. As her cancer progressed and she was no longer able to stay home, she was sent to hospice where she later passed away. I enjoy being a caregiver because I like to be the one to bring a smile on the clients faces or be the reason they look forward to seeing everyday. To be able to give the comfort ability to remain in their homes instead of being in facilities. My personal achievement is recognizing that I can make a difference in someone life just simply being a helpful hand. I take pride in being caring, loving and compassionate. i try to give my best and strive to give my all.
