Jana C.

I'm a talkative friendly & outgoing person. I am passionate about nursing and health care....especially for the elderly! I went to school to be a nursing assistant when I was in my late 40's because straight out of college I got married (32 years now!) and had two daughters. AFTER the youngest one graduated from high school in 2010, I was then able to pursue my real dream of getting certified to be able to care for clients and hopefully make their lives a bit better!

I am Maureen Angella Hucey , family and friends call me "Angie".This name is derived from my middle name and most people think I am like an Angel... I was born in Jamaica, spent 10 years of my adult life in the Bahamas. I have a BSC in Hospitality Management, CHS and CHT. My hobbies are, reading, cooking and doing volunteer work in either ministry or helping those who are less fortunate. I have more than 2 years of Caregiving experiences. During my working experience has a Caregiver my Clients/ Patients have requested me back or petitioned that I be the only one assigned to their case. I am a Caregiver that is full of compassionate, trustworthy, loving, kind, considerate,patient, humble,loyal, filled with empathy , very detailed, observant and most importantly your parents or child is "my family". I'm very reliable and can be counted on to be at work when needed or assignments done in a timely manner. What attracted most in being a Caregiver; the smile displayed on clients' faces, the joy I bring to their hearts, the inspiration of knowing that their is hope, the positive feedbacks given after my interactions and care of them. My parents died when I was 13 years of age so I never got an opportunity to be there for them, to care or give them support; so when I care for someone's else parent/s it brings me such joy and I do it with such "spirit of excellence ". What I have been most proud of ,is when a Patient's Son, requested that I be a Special Caregiver for his dad during his Hospice care. He said I was very caring, demonstrated high sense of creativity; made suggestions that were out of the box during those pivotal times when his dad lost his appetite, had a fever and had difficult moving. He commented that " it was the little things" that made his father and the transition/ process much easier. When I'm assigned to a patient and they're not interested in consuming their meals I would find ways of motivating and enticing them.
