About Keisha

I have never been formally employed as a caregiver but, I have experienced first hand the hardships that disabled patients face. My mother was a cancer patient and I was her sole caregiver the last year of hear life before she passed. After a couple of bad experiences with home nurses, I decided to become her primary caregiver. Knowing she was comfortable and well taken care of was very comforting and rewarding for me. Working as a mental health technician has helped to also get a better understanding of disabled patients. I enjoy providing the help patients need. I strive to make all of my patients smile. I was born here in Savannah, Georgia. I am a mother of four beautiful children ages 19, 15, 12, and 6. In my spare time I enjoy reading and listening to music. My future goals are to secure my degree in Psychology and become a successful Clinical Therapist for adolescents and adults.

I am a honest ,loving and caring Christian woman who have cared for people all my life. Actually I started assisting the elderly in my teens where I assisted my God-Mother in caring for her sick husband. After he passed I cared for her and another elderly woman until I graduated and moved to Virginia in 1981.I lived in Virginia for 31 years and have consistently cared for someone over that time period. I have now moved back to Savannah Georgia where it all started and I am looking to continue what I do best, and thats caring for people. I am a Registered Certified Nursing Assistant in Georgia, CPR/first aid certified and recently obtain a Bachelors degree inTheology and a Masters in Christian Education.

What makes me a great care giver is that I love people, and I love working to help others. What lead me to my field is that I cared for my father who bed ridden before he pasted away about 4 years ago he had several illness. About 6 months after he passed away I went back to school and received my Certified nursing license and my healthcare certificate. I definitely love what I do, and wouldn't have chosen another field.
