Hello. My name is Vontrica. I've been a caregiver for over 8 years. Recently my great grandmother passed. She had dementia. Although I've cared for patients with dementia seeing my great- grandmother go through it was different. We never put her in a facility, we gave her the proper care in the comfort of her own home. I never made her feel different and always included her in conversations and activities. My great- grandmother was a hands on woman. She loved to iron, cook, sew, and she loved crossword puzzle along with reading her bible. Everyday was different however I would always be in the moment with grandma. Weather it was going down memory lane looking at pictures, singing, dancing, cooking, folding clothes together you name it! Loving on her and taking care of her needs and her overall well- being and health was my main priority. My patience is another that makes me a great caregiver. I never rushed my patients nor my great- grandmother. Doing that will aggravate them. I would always redirect in a pleasant way. I enjoy working with people especially one on one work. I enjoy interacting with elderly (they are very wise and you learn a lot from them) Building relationships and trust with my patients and their family. The flexibility. Making a difference and making someone smile. I became a mother in 2022 to a beautiful baby girl. My pride and joy! My patients would ALWAYS ask me if I had children and at the time I didn't. They would also ask if I wanted to be a nurse. They would always tell me how good of a mother and nurse I would be. I plan to go back to school to further my career as a Registered Nurse. So YES I AM a proud mother and caregiver.
