About wickware

Hi, My name is porsha wickware and I believe that having to take care of my grandmother while I was still trying to finish high school made me a great caregiver. I am an out going, smart, talented person who loves helping people and making sure that I make people smile with the way that I Interact with them. I have experience dealing with people with high blood pressure, dementia, Alzheimer's, and more. The thing that attracted me to being a care giver is being able to make sure that the elderly had as much help as possible. Another thing that attracted me to being a care giver is the fact that I would want someone to take care of my grandmother or mother if I couldn't do it myself. The thing I enjoy most about being a care giver is being able to help and seeing smiles on peoples faces when I meet the needs that they require of me. A personal achievement that I am proud of is while having to take care of grandmother when I was in high school and still graduating at the top of my class. I am also proud of the fact that I am currently almost finished with my bachelors degree program.

I worked for a lady named Ms. Williams who only needed me for companionship. She also needed me to cook her meals and make sure she took her medication on time. She also suffered from high blood pressure so I had to make sure she kept it regulated.
