As a caregiver I am compassionate and caring. I decided to become a caregiver after helping care for my grandfather during his end of life. Through my 15+years of being a caregiver I understand what is means for the clients to have the care they deserve, while maintaining their dignity. I pride myself on being a team player and can adapt easily to changes. Attention to detail is important to me as well. What has made me the proudest, is the relationships I have established with my clients and their families.
