I'm a very compassionate caring person I'm been doing homecare for 35 years ot has always been my passion to help others in need because I feel I might be that someone someday, I've always gone over and beyond for my clients it's the little things that's done for a client that means so much something as simple as cleaning their glasses for them etc...I'm walking in my moms footsteps she taught me how to be not only a caregiver but be the best caregiver you can be someone is watching and I've always stood by what I was taught. What I enjoy most about being a great exceptional caregiver is the joy I bring to my clients it's the smiles and the appreciation for me to know that I've done my best is what motivates me. My personal achievement that I'm most proud of as a caregiver I come to you ( HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) By others.
