Marghurite W.

I am mature, outgoing, friendly, compassionate, and engaging. I will meet you where you are physically and emotionally and work with you to help you attain comfort and the best care. You will like me. I am flexible and will devote my expertise to your care. I have 5.5 years of COPD experience and 10+ years of caregiving.

My compassion and my personality, I have a very big heart , im a great listener and I treat clients as if they are family . What I have learned throughout the years being in this field is that clients/residents want to be recognized as a friend or family . Most of them are alone and have no one who cares that they are sick , depressed, and feel like they have nothing to live for anymore. As caregivers we have the ability to show them someone cares , even a hug can go along way , Bringing a client there favor food, combing there hair, its small simple things that brightens there day. I started off young babysitting and helping my mom raise my brothers while she worked 2 to 3 jobs. When I was 13 one of my uncles who was sick told me that being a caregiver would be for me he was diagnosed with HIV, I helped to take care of him. Til he passed away . I watched how sad he was, and how people treated him because he had HIV it disturbed me. Thats what me want to be in Healthcare almost my entire family is in Healthcare to help those in need to help uplift those that are down. I enjoy making clients laugh and smile, seeing how happy they are makes me happy. My personal achievement honestly is being in Healthcare.
