About Isatu

When I was a child, I used to help my mom take care of my grandmother who was suffering from Alzheimer's and had a disability which restricted her from performing her activities of daily living. She was a strong, independent woman and she always encouraged me to be God fearing, self-sufficient, empathic, loving, compassionate, trustworthy, and warm. These attributes have served me well not only among friends and family but the very clients I have worked with for years and establishing a lasting connection with them. Care giving has always been a passion because it is both fulfilling and rewarding which is why being admitted into college to pursue a degree in Nursing is a great accomplishment because it will provide me with more skills and knowledge to provide quality care for my clients.

I became a caregiver since the year 2000 after I graduated from Classic Nurses Academy and took my board Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA) licensure examination . Naturally, I'm compassionate , trustworthy, reliable, punctual on assignments , dedicated and above all very patience, I also love to make a difference in the life of others and put smiles on their faces, with that aspect of motivation in mind , I also helps the elderly at the volunteer food distribution in my community with whatever problems and needs that they may have. WORKING EXPERIENCE : I started working for Maxim Healthcare in January 2000. Through that, I connected with one of my clients who had Parkinson's disease. I worked with this client for a while until his children decided to hire me as a private caregiver and moved me with the client from Virginia to Colorado, because the children wanted their father to be closer to them. I took care of this client until he passed away. I returned back to Virginia after his death and started another work with Care Options in 2002. I have dealt with many clients with different needs and disabilities for the past eighteen years . PRIVATE CARE: I have being providing private care for as many as 35 to 40 different clients and families within Virginia and Maryland.
