About John

I became a caregiver by choice after my father required 24-hour supervision; otherwise he would have had to be in a skilled nursing facility. I like providing both necessary and nurturing care. In addition, I liked to make him happy. I am proudest of how happy and content he was at the end of his life by, partly, my care and keeping him out of a nursing home. I am a spiritual person who believes my mission is to serve others.

    I was responsible for looking after the safety, health, and well-being of my father. I supervised his taking of medication and his special eating requirements. I kept track of his medication and bought more when needed. I took him to medical appointments. I cooked and cleaned for us both. I was also unofficially in charge of his morale and he was happy until the last two weeks of his life.

I love my job , it brings me so much satisfaction to be able to help someone who need help and make their life easier and more pleasant, and I will always do my best to take care of my clients with a loving heart. Most family these day are looking for younger caregiver, maybe this is the reason I haven't been hired as a caregiver, but I had noticed that the families are posting here the same job over and over,and I wonder if they ever choose the right caregiver , I wished someone give me the opportunity to offer my services , my experience and my knowledge and am sure they will be pleased with my services . Thanks for the opportunity. Sincerely Deyanira Kanoa.
