About Teryn

Care giving can be a difficult but rewarding career. Seeing a patient being able to do something they couldn't previously do, is something unexplainable. When i went into healthcare, I was inexperienced other than just being a mother. I grew close to my patients and cared for them just like I would my own family. I have made personal bonds with patients and their families so strong that they came to me with issues/concerns to be resolved vs higher ranking employees. I put everything i have into helping others, to the best of my abilities. I am kind, patient, attentive, caring and a hard, dependable employee, dedicated to patient care and well being.

My personality traits that make me a great caregiver is that I'm a hard worker and I pay close attention to the client needs. What attracted me to this line of work is the love taking care and nurturing to the clients. My greatest achievement is seeing the clients getting better and independent.

My clients are not just a task. They become family through the relationship we build. There is a genuine concern for their needs not just the physically but emotionally. I have a great passion to help those who are vulnerable and sometimes without a voice. I am an Advocate. There is gentleness, kindness & patience offered to those I care for. My heart & passion for people as well as my faith are openly displayed.
