I have been a caregiver since 2009. I love the feeling I get from being needed and helping the elderly or disabled people. I mainly have worked for home health agencies and care homes. Im quiet, hardworking, patient and very understanding. I feel if anyone pays you to do a job and you agree to it, you tey to give that job 100 percent! I may not know it all and might be a little rusty in some areas but believe me im always willing to learn! Thanks in advance.

I am a great caregiver because I want my clients to know that I am there for them in any way I can help. I became a caregiver because it is a positive and rewarding job. I like being a caregiver because that means I am working as a health care professional doing what I love. I think it has been a wonderful experience getting to know my clients and working in a healthcare field. I like to read current events in the newspaper to a patient, do a crossword puzzle, or a puzzle. I also studied nutrition in college and have an Associate's Degree in Science.
