About Octavia

Hello I consider myself a great caregiver because I'm passionate about the needs and responsibility in caring for others. My ability as a strong caregiver goes beyond the call of duty as a dependable and trustworthy person that always thinks about how can I go further into improving myself educationally into what I need to become a better me in the healthcare field. Even though I am greatly experienced in healthcare, I know that I always have potential for growth. I am knowledgeable, punctual, and attentive to detail in whatever I do. I am a fast thinker and I am good at being a team player as well as a single player to every aspect of my job.

    I am a great caregiver because of the way I'm able to relate to people of any kind, the old, the young, disabled, and the mentally ill. There is a spirit that I possess that draws people to feel comfortable around me . I became a caregiver because I grew up around a lot of older relative and once they became sickly I was there to take care of them, and my greatest accomplishment is to volunteer in the Hospice program for Baylor Scott and White when I first came to Texas and was able to relieve the families of some to the burden of their loved ones by giving them time to take care of themselves and other family members.
