About Quinton

Hello, my name is Quinton Johnson. I'm 21 years of age and I live in Stafford, Va. I'm currently going to NOVA of Woodbridge for school. Some personality traits that I have that help me be a great caregiver is that I have patience, I'm very energetic, I love to tell a good joke or two. But overall I just really like putting smiles on people's faces, whether it's me just being there sitting with them or interacting with them. What attracted me to being a caregiver is that my grandfather is currently ill. He has COPD, so it's hard for him to breathe at time especially in the change of seasons. I don't live with my grandparents but I check on both so much, I probably should go live with them. For my grandfather I usually call or when I do go see him, I monitor his breathing, his hands to see if there shaking at a different pace then usual. Also I make sure he's in good spirits. I enjoy the smiles , the appreciation, the stories , and much more because you never really know a persons true state of mind. So the fact that I could possibly be the first smile they've had means a lot, because just one smile or laugh can change a whole person's day .

Some people ask me, "why are you a caregiver?" I smile and simply respond, "I care to care." Caring for others has not only created an occupation for me, but also a way of life. Waking up in the morning and knowing that I am on my way to make someone feel better, either by assisting with daily living activities, by listening, or by telling jokes that make a client smile, makes me feel a great sense of accomplishment and joy. I have been a caregiver for over six years and have never had a dull day since I began. Each day provides me with an opportunity to make a positive impact on someone, and I cannot think of anything more rewarding. I am an empathetic, forthright, punctual, honest, and patient individual who maintains professionalism at all times. I believe that these fundamental characteristics put me on level ground with the clients I have cared for throughout the years, and with their families and loved ones. Since childhood I have wanted to make a difference in people's lives, and being a caregiver I can make an impact that goes above and beyond that goal.
