About Janie

I treat the individual with the upmost respect and dignity. I’m compassionate, caring, and loving; and go above and beyond was is expected of me. I started out being a caregiver for relative and/or family members of friends. I saw firsthand at how some caregivers just took it as a job and did not get emotionally involved with the individual but I on the other had do. I want them to feel comfortable, want them to know that they matter just because they are ill/elderly their opinions/wants still matter. I’ve worked with intellectually disabled individuals as well. I feel like I am their voice and stand up for what is right and wrong for the person. My past experiences have been positive with the individuals and/or relatives, I have been invited to continue to visit them even though I am no longer employed at the company I worked for. The residents’ bonds were strong; they knew when I would arrive and would keep a look out for me. I was a part of their daily routine but they were also a part of my life.
