About Powell

I am a very compassionate and loyal person. I use my skills, previous education, knowledge, and past experience in both caregiving and customer service in order to provide quality care. I decided to become a nurse when I was sick as a young man and taken to the hospital. I admired the way I was being treated by nurses, so I told myself that I would become a nurse when I grew up. My abilities include general nursing, assessment, teaching, and implementation skills, assistance with activities of daily living, medication administration, and compassionate bedside care.

I appreciate the opportunity to get to know my clients and their families, and to become an integral part of their lives while providing excellent care and support.

I took care of my sick mother until she passed away. Later, a friend introduced me to the field of caregiving. Though I had formerly been a school teacher, caregiving fit like a glove. A client once asked me why I chose this profession, and I told her that I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I offer personal care, housekeeping services, and companionship. When my client was dying, I held her hand the entire time, not knowing that the daughter had entered the room and observed my action. After her death I received a note from the daughter describing how she had been touched by my action. As a former teacher, I am punctual, compassionate, empathetic, and sentimental; I laugh and cry with my clients. My current job involves caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their homes. I have recently been providing a client with personal hygiene in the morning through CareLinx.
