About Phaedra

I became a caregiver after taking care of both of my grandparents and it made me understand what it was like to have someone who really cares for a person made a difference in their life. The one thing i like about being a caregiver is knowing that this is one way that i can give back. The one personal achievement i am proud of is all of my experience that i have been able to gain in my journey of taking care of someone who needs a person like me. I made the decision to continue working with families because everyone is comfortable in their own home versus any hospital. I am a mother, a daughter, a granddaughter, aunt, and i am very passionate about what i do. I was raised in the south so my respect goes a long way. I am a medical assistant and this was one of the main reasons why i felt that doing a little more to give back would be rewarding to me. I enjoy all aspects of healthcare and i appreciate being appreciated. My personality and goals go hand in hand because if i was not able to give back i would not feel like i did any justice. I love helping others and i wont stop unless my health says otherwise.

I am a caring, compassionate, kind, patient, honest and reliable caregiver. I enjoy being a caregiver knowing I am helping people in various ways to achieve keeping their lives as normal and less stressful by doing all that is required and doing it well. I am the oldest of three and when my parents were at the age where they needed assistance I was there for them and realized they're so many other families in this situation and they are not able to be there for them. I enjoy meeting people and making a difference in their lives so that they can remain at home and not worry how will they do it.
