I've been a caregiver for 35 yrs. I started in this field when I was just 17. I love what I do. I come from a medical family and decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a doctor or nurse. I specialize in geriatric dementia and Alzheimers care. Every client needs to know they're truly cared for on every level with love, patience, and kindness. I enjoy learning from them ... they often have amazing histories, stories and lessons to share.I'm often with my clients for the duration of their lives.

I enjoy providing companionship and outmost care to every person I am with. I have also a great deal of medical experience.

Know vital information about patient's condition, treatment plan & any suggested activity.. In a capsule, it is very important to respond immediately to patient's call for assistance and/or treatment with the goal of creating a safe, effective environment to make a difference in the lives of the patient & their families. Patience is a virtue inherent in me. I always work above & beyond my duty for the comfort & safety of my patients. I would be very glad to be of service as I have an extensive experience in the medical field.

I have a flexible personality, I adapt as much as I can to the needs of the patients. I do work with the families and I walk with them in the acceptance of caring for an elder member of the family. I'm very diligent with my work and I strive to be better at every opportunity I come across. I enjoy helping others and I'm proud of knowing that the impact I made in people's life is in a positive way. I look forward to always learn something new and my continue growth in this career.

The reason for becoming a caregiver is that I wanted more 1 to 1 interactions with patients being that working at the hospital patients come and go and it's extremely difficult to build relationships. I have since taken care of a patient (hired privately) for 3 years and she has now passed. I am looking to care for someone wholeheartedly & willing to build relationships with the family as well in order to achieve the best quality of life to those in need.

Obtaining the knowledge in the medical field. The compassion I have for taking care of one.

Very compassion loving and caring person

Always striving to provide top quality dignified care for the elderly with love, patients , empathy and respect. I became a caregiver 26 years ago because I have a soft spot for the elderly and I enjoy helping and caring for the aging population. What I enjoy best being a caregiver is, I get to learn a lot from my elderly clients life experiences! I enjoy conversation with them, lending a helping hand, and a listening ear. All while providing genuine companionship.

I love what I do and caregiving is very rewarding. I have worked in a long term care facility with a focus on mental impairment. I've worked with various stages of Alzheimer's and dementia. I've worked with young adults with mental impairment. I've worked one on one in clients homes .I love the work that I do and am patient, kind, understanding, knowledgeable, strong, and compassionate. I like to be knowledgeable about my patients and their conditions. I like to take care of people like they were my own family. I decided I wanted to become a Nurse/caregiver when I was 13. My younger sister was born with Down syndrome, and was diagnosed with multiple hearth problems . The Nurses that worked with her made me want to be them because of the compassion and care they showed her and our family in the roughest of times.
