About Richard

I became a caregiver so I could help take care of my dad. I treat my clients like I want my parents treated. I receive satisfaction and reward in knowing that I can help someone do something that they can't do on their own. I am continuing my education to become a nurse. I'm a veteran and retired truck driver looking for part time work to subsidize income while I continue my education. I enjoy caring for those who can't care for themselves. I'm married and have two children at home.

    Hi there! I became a CNA in 2005, after taken care of my grandmother her last few years. The way I felt after taking care of her, I knew taking care of others was my calling. I can remember her always telling me with my heart and my compassion I needed to pursue nursing in some way. I find it so very rewarding to care for my elder and give back to them. I enjoy seeing them smile cause I made there day by simply just listening to them, assisting them with things, playing a game, or cleaning them up. I am very organized, responsible, dedicated, compassionate and truly love caring for my elders. I have been nominated twice in my CNA career for CNA of the year. I feel very blessed that I was recognized for my hard work and dedication.

    I am an older, experienced caregiver who is honest and willing to work hard to ensure your loved one is cared for the way I would want my loved one cared for. I have a \"knack\" with seniors, and I live by my Christian values so we don't have to worry.
