About Connie

I have been a teacher for 18 years. I am 41 years old but very outgoing and in great shape. I love being around people. I also participated in the Adopt a Grandparent Program at the Virginia Retirement Community through my church. I love working with and helping people of all ages, especially the elderly. I was hired as a care giver for an elderly man diagnosed with Dementia. I worked night shifts. I was responsible for providing his evening meals, evening activities, night time medications, and putting him to bed. The man also had a second home in Nags Head and I would take him to visit his second home on several weekend visits. During his weekends at Nags Head, I was responsible for his care 24 hours a day from Thursdays through the following Monday. His family decided to move him back to Nags Head so my services were no longer needed. I feel very comfortable taking care of all elderly, and in all situations. I am available for work Monday-Friday from 4pm-7am the following morning. I am also available anytime on Saturdays and Sundays.

My name is Julienne Mihigo. I have been working as a caregiver for more than 10 years now. Since i started my career , i have gained and continue to gain more training and certifications that allows me to do my work in a professional manner. I am a compassionate individual , a very patient and reliable worker who enjoys working and helping with all people. I have worked both in home and in institutions , both with children and adults.. I always feel happy when i make a contribution in the well being of another human being, that is why i treat the patients with dignity and respect and render the service exactly the way they want me to do. As a metter of fact, during my last assignment, i was so happy to receive a reward from my employer because the patient had reported that my demeanor and my way of preparing food, had helped her to gain more energy that she was able to start walking outside again.
