About Janice

I became a caregiver during the time my mom was ill and I did not understand what had happened to her. She was diagnosed with what was called a TIA. I had no idea nor had I ever heard of this. So that is when I decided to enter the field because I wanted to know how to take care of her. I enjoy being a caregiver because I am a humanitarian. I don't like to see people suffer. If I can do something to help someone or to make them feel better, then I feel that I have served a purpose. That is something God wants us all to do. I don't feel proud of my achievements, just fulfilled that I can make a difference in someone's life or know that I have contributed to the betterment of someone's life. That is huge, to know that you have touched another persons life and made a difference. I am highly spiritual. I am a team worker. I believe communication is the key to all things. I am a perfectionist. I like to do my best job possible at whatever I do. I don't mind going that extra mile if needed. I like a peaceful work environment because I believe that human beings should be able to get along and maintain a professional attitude in their work environment.

1. What actually makes me a great caregiver is my willingness to serve others and I believe it's my calling. 2. I became a caregiver because, I have great compassion for individuals in need of personal one on one care. 3. Their are several reasons why I like being a caregiver. The first reason is that I am able to be there for individuals that are in need of help. Another reason I enjoy being a caregiver is because, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and after the cancer she went into remission. Shortly afterwards, she was diagnosed with dementia. Recently she was diagnosed with Parkinson. I eventually had to move her into my home and I realized how self fulfilling and rewarding it is to serve others with sincere humility. I feel that as a caregiver each individuals that I care for should receive the best of care, compassion, and the best quality of care that life has to offer. 4. My most greatest achievement is yet to come because, I'm looking to achieve more tomorrow than I have today. Life is a lifelong learning process and when you think that you have achieved your greatest achievement there is still room left for more improvement.
