About Kala

I'm a great caregiver because my number 1 priority is my 6 year old son, who was diagnosed at birth with Sickle Cell Anemia. Since his birth, I have worked along with his doctors and nurses to help provide the best care possible for him. I decided to become a caregiver because the medical field overall has been a passion of mine since I was a young teenager. I can remember always saying to myself "one day, I would love to be like that doctor or nurse and have that great compassion for the sick and elderly. I like to be a caregiver because I enjoy helping people and making them feel as comfortable as possible. I am most proud of becoming certified in the State of New York as Nurse Aide. My dream is to eventually become a Registered Nurse and do twice as much of the work that a nurse aide does.

    Possessing a nuturing nature, caregiving comes naturally to me. Also I have been in the personal care profession for quite some time now. I am a compassionate person and enjoy providing care to people. It gives me great satisfaction to think I am helping someone and that the job actually enabled me to make a difference in the daily lives of my residents. I love working with the elderly, I took care of my Grandmother and my mother when they were sick. There is a great sense of achievement to know I am helping people.
