About Latoria

Empathy and compassion. Working with people in a home care setting, it is essential that a caregiver feel the desire to want to help. By showing both empathy and compassion caregivers will let the person they are caring for know that they care about the person and want to do what they can to help them. Patience. When you work with someone who needs home care it is important that you are patient and understanding. It helps to sometimes put yourself in the other person's shoes and see what it might be like to ask people for help. Reliable. A great caregiver is someone that can be counted on to be there. If the caregiver says he or she is going to be there to provide home care every Thursday morning, then the caregiver shows up, unless there is an emergency. Those needing home care services need a reliable and dependable caregiver. Trustworthy. Most people who need home care services are in a vulnerable position. They are inviting someone into their home to be near their valuables. A good caregiver is someone who is trustworthy in this regard, as well as in being trusted to keep the client's information confidential. Flexible. As with most things in life, home care needs may change and unexpected events can happen. A good caregiver will be prepared to go with the flow, being flexible, so that they continue to provide good home care, even if a rigid schedule isn't being followed.

Hello, My name is Auriana Banks. I have always loved working with elderly people. Mt first encounter was taking care of my great aunt at the age of thirteen. My jobs was to bathe, feed, make sure she took her medication, as well as dress and transport her around the house. I had the pleasure of taking care of my grandmother also, fulfilling the same job duties plus driving her to her doctors appointments and grocery shopping. Now that I have the opportunity to actually be a nurses aid; I have been inspired to pursue a nursing degree. I passionately believe in helping the elderly, and my goal is to help them be comfortable and also enjoy their time here on earth
