I decided to become a caregiver, mainly, because I had worked in so many jobs and careers where I had been laid off or the company went out of business. I had a friend that was in the industry and informed me that in the healthcare business you will practically always have a job. Honestly, I sincerely wish that I would have gotten into the industry right out of high school some twenty five years ago. Little did I know that I would come to absolutely love the job and the position. The thing I like most is meet the variance of people and building the relationships with someone I otherwise would never have had the opportunity of meeting. As a caregiver you have to understand that in this business many of the people we come in contact with eventually move on to the next life, but I cherish those moments and like to believe that I had a small hand in making the process and transition a bit more comfortable not only for the person but for the family as well. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is probably just the fact that I have been able to just go to work with a smile on my face and it not feel like a job or a task. I can go to sleep and feel that I did something productive with my time and made somewhat of a difference in some ones life each and every day; whether it was assisting them, just acknowledging the in some way, or just bringing a smile to their face.

My name is Cecile Mpawenimana but I go by Cece I'm a nice caring person, full of understanding. I'm an outstanding person when it comes to helping people. I have a lot of patience. What attracted be to be a caregiver would honestly have to be the special needs kids we had at school. Every time I saw them they had a smile on their face it was just so heartwarming. I remember when are student government class gave them their own Valentine's dance if you saw how much fun they had you would be smiling it was the best day of high school. What I enjoy most about this job is that not only do you get to experience new ways of handling situations you also get to learn the despite of are differences and circumstances we all have stories to tell, but all we want is someone to show that they care enough to hear them. My GREATEST achievement would have to be moving out my moms house I love my mom and will forever love her but it was toxic to the point where I felt invisible in my own house and living just relieved me from all the bad things that was happening and now I'm more at peace with myself. Life always gets taugh, but it's up to us to make something out of that taught situation

Helping and encouraging them to be mobile if possible while listening and engaging conversation on topics that are most important to them. I have knowledge of and experience with Senior care in different environments such as one-on-one home health/companionship, retirement homes, and assisted living facilities. I am trained in a broad range of dynamics pertaining to but not limited to special needs. Intense hands-on training and focus in providing care for m.h.m.r/disabled/dementia/Alzheimer’s, and disease debilitating patients. I am trained C.N.A and I know how to use proper technique for transfer/ambulation to those that are physically challenged, and have mobility/barriers. Further knowledge includes use of basic lifting, Hoyer lift, and gate belts for those who are prone to falls. I do believe in charting the progress of my patients so that their family, physician's and loved one's can keep up with their every day care and any changes that may occur.
