About Adwoa

I am always delighted to be around people, I am a caring, loving and joyful person. This goes to show how I have been in this profession for over 17 years. When I was a young woman I took care of my grandmother when my parents were not around for some time until she passed away. Having that experience showed me how excited I get when I am able to help make someone's life better. The thing I enjoy the most is when the people I am caring for share their personal experiences, personal background, and how they came about in their life. A personal achievement of mine that I am very proud of is when I cared for a family's loved one and they showed their appreciation towards me through a letter of appraisal when I finished working with them.

I have always longed to help out people since childhood especially the elderly. Just reminding myself that they were once able to do everything by themselves ,drives me to wholeheartedly help them out in their activities of daily living. I want to see them live a better life than I found them . Always living a smile on their faces , bringing back hope of living in their hearts. My personality of being loving, caring , passionate and servanthood spirit are the driving forces which led me to this profession. One of my personal achievements is the fact that I have been able as a CNA to professionally and successfully work in an Assisted living facility on patients with dementia, alzeimers, combative behaviors etc.
