I am a caregiver because I believe in helping people. I try to do my part being compassionate and providing care to those in need. I enjoy seeing the smile on a person that I help. I give out hugs and smiles all day long. I get positive results from that. A person can be having a bad day and I reach out and help them change it around. I do not allow people with handicap to use as an excuse. We sing, smile, talk and etc just like everyone else but maybe in a different way. I am so grateful that I am able to make a difference in someone else life in a positive way; so rewarding. I been caring for others since I was 11 years old. I am drawn to people that are sick and hope I can make a difference in their lives. I am a medical assistant and certified nursing assistant. I also have a real estate license. I have a good rapport with people I work with. I remember when I was in high school(years ago) I helped people write love letters. I remember also I tried to counsel girls into keeping their self-esteem and knowing their worth.
