About Erika

I have been a caregiver since I was 18 years old. I am now 45. I became a CNA back in 1991. After working in a skilled nursing home I decided to work in assisted living. I have lots of experience working with dementia residents. I have also worked as a med aide. I became a caregiver because when I was growing up my mother owned a foster home and I enjoyed spending time with the elderly even back then. So as I got older I decided I want to help the elderly. I enjoy spending time with them , getting to know about their lives, I am a very caring person and easy to get along with . I am also very reliable .

'Essentially it is a lesson of love. Because if you can not love, you can not be a caregiver. \\" It's the greatest gift you can give another human being. To give yourself, to give your life for other people. I became a caregiver because i wanted a career that had the potential to make a difference in someones life. I enjoy making someone smile and doing little things to make a persons day better. Being a Caregiver/CNA for 10 years has helped me in so many ways, i have worked in Hospitals, Nursing homes, Private Duty , Hospice care and also with Disabled children. I love what I do. Taking care of people that need my help gives me joy in my heart. I feel it is very important to have someone in you life that truly cares and makes you feel important. A personal achievement I am proud of : Attained \\" Caregiver of the year award \\" by constantly maintaining excellence in my care to residents.
