About Doris

1.Why DID I BECOME A CARE GIVER I believe that seniors are one of the most valuable resources, society could ever embrace. Also , my earliest job as an uncertified care giver has lead me to embrace the fact that; seniors just don't need to live ... but live a quality of life that is second to none. My fondness for seniors, my teaching experience, coupled with the vast knowledge I gain from my sisters has lead me to love and care seniors in a special way. For me its personal , starting with my grand-parents and Aunt. Those who have walked before us.... Have given so much... And so made possible.... The life we now enjoy.... 2.WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT BEING A CARE GIVER . The act of helping and facilitating others in setting goals and experiencing , the almost impossible . It gives a sense of satisfaction to know that, I ,have given comfort to another human being . Each day , despite the hurdles ,when I have done my job well ,I experience a total sense of completeness and the desire to continue helping. The experience gained and the ability to apply these to similar job situations 3 WHAT IS A PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT I AM PROUD OF My ability to get along with seniors / who I care for . The Experience gained after years of care giving I am very highly recommended by most ,f not all employers I can live with my Conscience.... BECAUSE...I did my job well and to the best of my ability 4. A

    Hi My name is Suzette and I am a dedicated caregiver to the older adults. deeply committed to treating my older clients with dignity and respect. My skills assist me in boosting their morals and to maintain their dignity even in times of distress, my goal is to win their trust and make them feel less discomfort when needing assistance with bathing, toileting, dressing and grooming or other personal care. I have over seven years experience caring for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia, Strokes, bed bond, and Hospice care. It can be challenging at times, but I truly enjoy working with the older adults. Though I try to make a difference in their lives, the lessons I have learned, makes a lasting impact. I am Compassionate, loving, kind, Trustworthy, with a beautiful personality. And though I do not drive I do used Public transportation, Lyft and Uber.
