About Candace

I have spent the past year working with mentally disabled clients and attending Jr 1 nursing program which has prepared me on a foundations level to assist patients as a CNA. I am confident with ambulating, bathing, giving medication (including insulin and heparin), moving patient frequently to keep from getting pressure ulcers. I enjoy spending time with patients as this allows me to utilize my nurturing qualities which have led me to become a nurse. I enjoy caring for others, ensuring their safety is always being considered first and foremost.

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is because I am patient, compassionate, reliable, honest and I have some experience. I did not know about care giving until I came to this Nation and my family members introduced me to it and after doing it for a few months I started to enjoy taking care of people in need and I have been doing it ever since. What I like most about being a caregiver is when am taking care of a patient and am able to help them do what they could not do by themselves and see the face brighten and smile. My personal achievement that am proud of is handling a combative patient make them calm and they accept care, take their medications and meals.
