About Brittany

I became a caregiver right out of college to help presue my dream of working with children. I worked for the same family for 2 years, helping their severely disabled son. When I first started working for the family the 11 yr old son was very malnourished weighing in at 22 lbs, I was able to build the type of relationship with his mother that she soon entrusted me with feeding him pouches of baby food instead of oatmeal 3 times a day. Was able to learn all the physical therapy he was needing and able to practice with him daily. Over the two years he did manage to weigh in at 47lbs of muscle. The congenial degenerative disease he had required him to gain weight which was one of the things his mother struggled with.. Then I was blessed with a child of my own and could no longer care for my charge due to weight lifting restrictions during my pregnancy. Was blessed with a son and spent the next few years caring for him, as well as my mother and my grandparents all of whoms health was rapidly declining. I love being a caregiver because it allows me to continue to give love to those who have loved and taken care of their own families. It give me a sense of peace knowing that I am able to make their lives just a little bit better by being there for them in whatever way they need. My greatest personal achievement would have to be bringing an older patient (whom I was in charge of for 4 months) out of a panic attack. After working with her for 12 hours a day I was able to build that trust and bond with her and she knew, even at the end of her care that I truly loved her and only wanted the best for her and her family. Even though it was sad and made me cry I know she and her family were very happy with the care she received from me. I've been told I have an empathic personality. And I would love to be able to find the right fit taking care of others family members who could use a little bit extra in their care.
