About Nikki

My name is Nikki. I have been a certified nursing assistant since 2014, but have been taking care of people since 2000. What attracted me to become a caregiver was taking care of my mother for so long. My mother passed in 2006 and from then on I've been a caregiver. I am a caregiver at night for a client I have had since July 8th of 2015. I am the lead at my job, I handle the medications, doctors apts, payroll, firing, hiring and basically anything you can think of. My job isn't a job it's my life, my career. I have helped take care of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, quadriplegic, cancer, amputations, inserting catheters, condom catheters, pubic catheters, colostomy bags you name it I have done it. What I truly enjoy most about being a caregiver is leaving the clients house knowing that the little time you get to spend with them made a difference. Getting to hear the story's of their life is the most memorable. To hear a client tell you that they love you and they can't wait for you to come back .... Those are the moments that make my career the greatest career in the world.

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.
