I am caring , compassionate, hard working, honest and punctual. From a young age I watched my mother care for others family members and would often go with her to the nursing home that she worked at to play dominoes with the residents. Later on I followed in her footsteps and started working with persons with brain injuries. Over the past 12 years I have shared the triumphs and disappointments with my clients as they attempted to relearn skills that they lost due to their injury. I have watched them learn to walk, talk, read and write again. What I love most about being a caregiver is when I walk into the building and hear someone who has a hard time remembering names calls out my name because they are excited to see me. Last year I began bettering myself by taking a Phlebotomy course so that I could help out with drawing labs at work when they were ordered. I hope to be able to continue with bettering myself while I also help others.
