I became a caregiver in 2005, because I love helping elderly people to feel independent at all times in their own homes. I am experienced in the field of health care by assisting, encouraging, supporting and supervising with their daily needs and goals. I love what I do in helping elderly and individuals that I have been working with. It has made my understanding of life very effectively. Every thing that I put my mind to I achieved, I am really self motivated. I am compassionate, nurturing, dependable, trustworthy and empathetic. My great achievement is yet to come. I am a female who lived in Lorton Virginia with my lovely son. I achieved my Associate degree in nursing at Northern Community College and looking forward to pursuing my Bachelors of Science in nursing at George Mason University. I am a lovely, caring and self motivational. I enjoyed working with seniors, because of their past experiences and their motivation Spirit. I love making elderly people happy by supporting and engaging them with what they like to do. I am a honest, kind, passionate, and punctual at all times.
