About Venita

Hello my name is Venita, born and raised in Dallas, TX. I come from a religious background, raised to serve others as a suitable servant upon God. I enjoy helping to care for others; have it be family, friends or strangers. I truly believe that everyone needs someone in their lives through the good and bad times in life. When I care for others, I treat them and their family like they are my family members. As a caregiver, I am proud of being able to use and share my wisdom and learning skills throughout the years amongst others. Being a caregiver at earlier ages has made it possible for me to start my own family and allowed me to care for them correctly in their personal need areas; mental, emotional and physical disabilities. I believe that I wouldn't have been able to understand upfront, had I not encountered those challenges in working with others with similar disorders and diseases. My proudest achievement is determining my own diagnosis in 2016, Multiple Sclerosis, after working with patients who shared similar diagnoses and symptoms like myself. I have been able to care for myself and manage a healthier lifestyle after going through a near death experience to be in the position to start over and not give up in life, to continue serving others. :J

Growing up being the oldest of 6 siblings I had to be the caregiver due to my mother working long hours as a nurse. In my adult life I've had many jobs but no fulfillment until I started caring for others. I found my purpose and calling. I truly enjoy/ love being a caregiver it brings so much joy and self gratification. My mother played a big part of why I love being a caregiver. seeing the love, she gave, and the return love played a big roll. It feels good to know that I have gained a client trust as well as the assurance that I will take care of them. To see them smile or just help them through a rough day knowing that they can count on me is a great reward. I've had a client I had just started with ask me, is this just a job or do you care? I care about what I do. This is one of the biggest questions that a client or family member has when looking for a caregiver. Staying positive, going beyond the call of duty, compassionate, caring, outgoing, patience, etc. To have the opportunity to care for your loved one or self would be a privilege and a blessing.
