About Joanne

I like to think that I am a people person, I am vey compassionate towards others feelings. My ultimate goal in life is to help others especially those who can't care for themselves. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is that at the end of the day I know I have been a great help to someone in need, also I give them a reason to smile. A personal achievement would have to be that I am almost done with my associates degree in social work after a major setback, I am just grateful for the opportunity to get back into school.

I became a caregiver because I needed a job then I can't stop being one because I loved it, I love helping others and making their life easier. Being a caregiver is one of my passion, I love making difference in peoples lives, I go home happy because I did something for the person in need which made them, smile, comfortable, satisfied and at the end of the day send me home blessed. I'm dependable, compassionate, honest and caring person. What makes me think and believe that I'm a great caregiver is that everyone of my patient called me "my angle" and this is because I treat everyone of them as they were my own, I don't leave anything that can be done today for tomorrow because we may not have tomorrow and I don't want to live with guilty consciousness for the rest of my life, therefore I provide all the assistance the patient needs right then when he/she needs it, not tomorrow.
