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.
