About Erica

I became a caregiver after watching my step-mother take care of her mother, I wanted to help people both physically and mentally the same way my step-mother did. I like being a caregiver mainly because of the actual part of giving care, whether it be helping somebody get dressed or just spending time with somebody. I enjoy helping people feel as independent as they can while I help them. I am proud that I have been able to grow with this line of work, becoming an assertive, social human being that enjoys giving care to a variety of different people whether they have cancer, a broken hip, or just can't remember how to get dressed for the day. I am interested in becoming a massage therapist and once that happens I hope to stay mainly with elderly people, I enjoy massage and believe it is a great alternative to relieve pain. Also I enjoy reading, writing, nature, animals and I recently started to relearn how to play the guitar.

    I have been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for over 5 years. I love what I do and I get tremendous joy from providing my services to my patients. I decided to get involved in this line of work because I believe there is great joy in being able to make someone's daily life easier and provide comfort, support and understanding to those who need it. I am incredibly patient, dedicated and thorough in my work. I have experience working with seniors, quadriplegic patients, and patients with several types of mental disorders. I believe it takes someone with strong determination and spirit to succeed in this line of work and I consider myself a perfect fit for it.
