The love I have for people whom can't help themselves what has help me to be a great caregiver from working in daycares to working in private homes with other love ones. What attracted me to being a caregiver is my family gave care for years I watched my mother work in nursing homes to private duty nursing as a little girl growing up to have a heart. What I enjoy the most about caregiving is seeing a smile on there face just to know a stranger can care so much. I achieved a heart for people. I achieve growth in the company I work for also I went from working in the homes to working in the office. I was so proud of myself

Hello I was born and raised in Nashville Tennessee. I became a caregiver because I wanted a career with a purpose. Something I could feel good about every single day by helping people. I am extremely trustworthy as well as reliable. I will promise to treat your relatives just as I would my own. I will be respectful, and have patience ,I will go above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. Empathy is my strong suit which makes me extremely good at my job. I have work for an agency where I learned that each patient is different and requires different needs then the last. I lived in the Madison area but is willing to travel up to 25 miles.
