Greetings, I've discovered that regardless of someones health condition or disability everyone deserves to have a good quality life and to be happy, thats way I became a "Compassionate Caregiver" it is so important to provide compassionate care to thoughes that need caring for. One of my good friends was in a car accident that left him as a Quadriplegic, now being such a young man, he became very depress with life and I had a problem with that so I decided to learn how to care for him and I did just that. I started by being Trained by the Healthcare facility free of charge were he lived. I started class room and hands on training for eight weeks and I had taken a CPR course. I did this so my friend could have a quality life. I also taken a course on how to transfer Quadriplegic patients so that I could transfer him the correct way from his wheel chair to my car and from the car to his wheelchair and back into the facility were he was living, that alowed us to go places, Dr appointments and places he liked going to. Then he stoprd looking at his self deficiencies but instead, he started loving life once again and loving people and we made the best of things. So he begin enjoying are times together once again just like old times and thats how I became a Home Healthcare Provider.

I became a caregiver because I love taking care of people in general. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. I really love helping people who need my help and to take care of they everyday needs. Someone who's aware of important information that a giving directly to me. I also graduated as a medical assistant from Everest Institute college. I also carry my Medical Assistance certificate diploma. I'm a very kind hearted, honest, reliable, hard working, responsible, trustworthy caregiver provider that you'll ever meet. I Assisted elderly clients, at their homes, with their daily life activities. Took vital signs and documented the results. Transferred clients from beds to chairs. Prepared and cooked meals. Washed dishes and laundry. Swept, mopped, and vacuumed floors. Provided companionship, medication reminders, and shopping services. Notified nurses of changes in behaviors or conditions. Followed all rules, regulations, and procedures to ensure safety, efficiency, and quality health care services.
