About Barb

Hello. I'm Barb and I'm a professional-minded caregiver with 12 years of experience. I effectively communicate with clients and family members so that I am able to deliver the best level of care. I am also respectful of care preferences and I take the time to listen, which is essential in building solid relationships with clients. I also know how important it is to give clients space, so I'm mindful about being too talkative. My goal is to make sure the people in my care are comfortable and not overwhelmed. Whether it's helping with daily tasks or just being present, I try to show up in a way that feels supportive without overstepping.

I love what I do let me start off by saying that and I believe when a person live their job it's for them to not be an problem when it comes to doing their job. I love taking care of people I think I get that from my nana (grandmother) she always had me with her as she was doing her work and I think I took it interesting bad an child I enjoy the look on clients face when you have given them good news about their loved one it could be something so small but it's really huge because of the fact that they have been trying to get them to do it and maybe they would not but now that they are that's an accomplishment my personality also has alot to do with the type of work I do for example me being sooooooooo caring and I know it may sound a lil not good but I do tend to worry if people are not ok or feeling well and I try to do whatever I can in order to change that. I am proud of me taking the time and getting on the path to what I wanted to do in the long run so early by going to job corps for C.N.A I could not have did anything greater because I knew this was exactly what I wanted to do because I love to take care of people.
