About Haley

For most of my life I had an unhealthy father. Much of it was in and out of hospitals, doctor visits, breathing treatments, medications and so forth. And for most of my life, I had been considered an "artist"; in this way, the creating itself had been its own kind of therapy for me. "Art Therapy" it was. And although much of my life was in art, it was also in awareness of what my dad went through medically. The laziness, the lack of care, all the things I had wished to change but helpless to do about. It wasn't until my father died however that I made a complete change of my path. When my father passed, something occured within me that pushed this need I had felt to care for and help others. While I stood by helplessly watching my father experience such low grade care before dying, I wanted to be the care I'd wished to have seen when he was still around. And this "push" to do so was immediate and it was strong. So, I did what I had to to make it happen any way that I could. It was more like this "calling" I had had, and became an immediate priority of my life. I'd never experienced anything like it before. I moved all the way to Lubbock where my friend had said I could stay while I got all my CNA work and hours done. I moved, got certified as a CNA and had been hired on where I did clinicals at. My first job into the healthcare field was at a Retirement home where Alzheimer's and dementia was common. Although the job of a cna can be hard and consuming, it was the best job I ever had before. Caring for and helping others in need overall gives you this sense of "wholeness" you never had before. And deciding to be the change you wished to see makes you feel good inside as well, bc it has to start somewhere. And everyone deserves a good level of care when they've got other health concerns going on.

I am a great caregiver, because I always do my best with alot of passion. My goal is to comport, encourage and make my client feel much better than I found them. Also i remind my clients to count their blessings more than what their facing on a daily basis. I always wanted to be caregiver because i knew i am capable and talented in bringjng a difference in people's daily life. I enjoy alot of things while I am delivering direct care to my clients . But one thing that stands out, when my client is doing much better that I found them because my care it brings alot of joy and encouragement that my goal as a caregiver is meet.
