About Pride

I try to be the best possible caregiver because I believe it is one of the most important jobs there is. I like people and it is a privilege to help them enjoy life as fully as they are able to, especially when it includes helping work toward healthy activity and more inclusion in life and community. I have compassion, patience, dedication, a good sense of humor, am calm in crisis, learn fast and can even help with animal care if needed. (I grew up on a farm.) I'm a pretty good cook. I love books, movies, walking, trying to write stories and listening to people. Achievements I am proud of include raising children, grandmothering, attaining a Bachelor of Arts Degree and being once named Caregiver of the Year. Thank-you for considering me as a caregiver!

    I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for over 30 years. Part of that time I was a Medical Assistant. I became a caregiver originally to help family members, and found that I enjoyed it so much that I made it my career. I am most proud of the fact that I make lives better and increase the social life of my clients.

    I became a caregiver while taking care of a close relative and decided to make a career out of it. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others, especially when you can put a smile on their face. One of the greatest personal achievement I'm proud of are my kids. I'm a very hard worker, I have a sharp eye for detail, compassionate also a great listener. I have obtained other training as well wich includes Fundamentals of Cargiving, First Aid, Mental Health Specialty Training and Nursing Delegation.
