Amada
I started working for Amada March 2019 until March 2020 because of the Pandemic I have been home, since March, now that the vaccine is coming out I want to take it so I can get back to work. I was at High risk and did not want to catch this virus. I worked at Amada for a former news paper owner. He wanted things done a certain way and he like my performance. I also took care of his wife, taking them both down t dinner in the dinning room, helping both of them get their pajamas on, medication reminders. I would assist both of them to bed, on certain days when dinning room was closed I would go downstairs to pick up their meals and after dinner I would clean the kitchen. They both passed away, so I had gotten another client this job was 15 hours a week a week which detailed cooking breakfast, making her bed, taking her shopping, errands, Dr. Appointment, church, I would walk her dog . This was a nice job and she said when I left she would give me a good recommendation. I was also working at the same time for a women who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's her stage was not too advanced at the time I took care of her, she always remembered me and I would take her to lunch or star bucks. She needed help with paying her bill at star bucks she always manage to find her credit card when we went to lunch. I also took her to Dr appointments.

Loving people makes me a great caregiver because love is an action word. I became a caregiver because I love caring for those not thought of. My greatest accomplishment was learning to love in spite of and getting vaccinated.
