About Barbara

I became a caregiver after the death of my biological mother and witnessing the needs she had prior to her death with her illness. I enjoy the ability to assist others and to care for patients. I believe that I have been in a wonderful field and enjoy the interactions with my patients and the family members. I have been in the field for over 20 years in one aspect or another. I have been employed as a licensed vocational nurse for 10 plus years and have greatly enjoyed it. I have recently moved and am now looking for more of a one to one situation to care for an individual and be able to devote more of my time and care to the one instead of having to spread my care among numerous patients at a time. I feel that I may better serve the patient in this capacity.

It brings me great joy knowing that the patients I take care of and work for can have a better quality of life by getting to know them and help them with whatever they need. I have always enjoyed not only working with older people, but children as well. I have been a caregiver for many years not only for family and relatives but people I never knew before. I always feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that the people who I work for can finally feel relief knowing they are around someone trustworthy and honest, and someone that they can feel comfortable with. I am proud of the fact that I am going to online college to pursue a degree in business management so that one day maybe I can open my own healthcare establishment. The thing I enjoy most about working as a caregiver is the great big hugs I get from my clients as a rewarding way of saying thank you for what I do!
