About Ambrose

I became a caregiver because I was brought up as one. I was brought - up by my 76yrs of age Grandma whom I ended up cared for till she passed back in 07. I have found nursing as a handy tool and I am fascinated by science and it's discoveries particularly in relation to the cause and treatment of infectious diseases . Helping people has actually being a passion for me regardless of the circumstances, and that has been the precept in becoming a passionate care giver. I have accrued a lot of hrs in the nursing field, including nursing homes, assisted livings, and agencies. I'm presently pursing my BSC in Nursing and I take pride in having the opportunity to serve my clients. My hands on experience caring for my clients is nothing short of a clinical experience towards my future career in Nursing. I am married with two kids; a man of steady character who will do well if given the opportunity to do so. I'm proud of being awarded an employee achievement award by Lifematters back in 2013. I am a hard worker, highly motivated and ready to learn new skills. I also have a very reliable car that can take me to my clients. I can speak english, french and creole.

I believe that we are all special, unique, different and with a purpose for our existence here on earth. For the many years that I have been taking care of the military men and women, I have loved the joy and appreciation that they give back. It is without a doubt that I will take a great care of your loved one just like I would care for my own. For me, life is a gift that comes from God and therefore, it must be respected.

I am very companionate and my greatest wish is to lift up someone who really needs help. I have grand parents who are growing old and providing assistance has always been my joy and I worked in an organization for persons with disabilities, that is one of the best time because I was able to provide assistance and was a voice to the voiceless. It is my passion to do same wherever I am . Put a smile on someone's face and make them see hope, I can say I have been able to do that because most of my client are uplifted.
