> Proud Carelinx Professional Private Caregiver- Diamond Level. > NCCDP- Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) #279197 > I am COVID 19 Vaccinated: PFIZER Dates: 3/10/21 Lot# EN6205, 3/31/21 Lot# ER8733. I am a caregiver with a heart full of compassion, possessing the unique ability to empathize and sympathize. With eight years of experience in private home care with Carelinx since 2016, several Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities, I take pride in providing dedicated and kind-hearted support to all my Care Adults. I find fulfillment in making a positive impact on the lives of those I care for, especially when it comes to someone special who have spent a lifetime caring for others, their partner and their children. Now, it's their turn to receive that extra-SPECIAL CARE they deserve.

I believe I am a great caregiver because I truly love taking care of others! I try to help as little as possible in certain areas, to let them still feel as independent as possible, being there when needed, and I believe it is their time to be pampered and spoiled. I think what I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is that I can make their lives a little easier and give the family's some comfort knowing that their loved ones are with someone that truly enjoys their job and " will take care of them as they would". What personal achievement I am proud of is completing school last year. It was worth it, and I enjoyed it so much I have returned to school to become an Activity Care Professional so that I may continue my journey with the elderly. It also showed me, I'm in the right place-helping the elderly. I am a Nationally Registered Certified Medical Assistant,(NRCMA) ; and when I complete the program I am in now, I will be an Activity Care Professional, (ACP) and a Certified Nurses Assistant, (CNA); and I am CPR/BLS Certified. Also, have completed Covid19 awareness and safety classes and an additional 25 online courses at Care Academy. I have had both doses of the Covid 19 vaccine.
