About Jemma

I come from a cultural and traditional family so the word "family" means a lot to me. I will treat my patients the same way I treat my grandparents; with love and respect. I have also worked as a CNA before and currently I am an Occupational Therapist Assistant in a nursing home who would greatly like to transition into home health. I would love to work as a caregiver at home because that is where people feel the most comfortable and safe. Although I am a therapist, I do ADLs daily with patients so I am very familiar with it. I love providing care and companionship to the the elderly because I know how lonesome they become as they age and how their abilities to carry out everyday functions decline. I would be more than happy to help them along the way and to help improve their independence in everyday tasks. I believe it is important for elders to have a hobby or activity they enjoy doing because it will give them a purpose and also stimulate their minds which will prevent further mental decline.

This is a little about me. I am a down to earth individual. I chose to get into the medical field because I was tired of working jobs that paid minimum wage and not enough hours. I wanted to do CNA because it suits my personality well. I have always taken care of my family so I thought why not get paid for doing what I already do. Since being a CNA I have saved up for my own apartment. I could not have gotten my apartment with a warehouse job or working at a fast food place. I really like it when the client and I have a good bond and a great understanding. I like to make people laugh because I believe that is the best medicine. I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated. So if you allow me to take care of your loved one you will not be disappointed
