I am a compassionate person who listens for someone that may feel like they don't have and need at the time. I try my best to be a good friend to my clients and make them feel understood, respected, I am a very approachable person who loves to listen and get to connect with the clients. I am a caregiver but I also become good friends with the clients who can be truly comfortable with me. Enjoyment of my job as a caregiver is to know that I can make a true positive impact that provides the client with a happy outcome that even the families of the client can see. I have achieved many things in my life that does not provide a certificate for. Having a family that cares and wants the best for me.

I am a very caring and compassionate individual. I have a big heart and love to help others. I remember taking care of my grandfather and learning ways to show more compassion and love to an individual. I love being a caregiver because I can help those who cannot help themselves and do this in a very respectful way. I always want my "resident" to feel happy and comfortable. I want to encourage them to do the things that they can still do, but assist in the daily things that they cannot do for themselves anymore. A personal achievement that I am proud of would be having my own family. I am proudly married to the man of my dreams who pushes me to do what I love and to never give up, and I am proud of my beautiful daughter who makes me want to be a better person and give her all the things she may ever want. I want to teach my daughter the benefits of helping others and how great it feels to know and feel that you are truly helping better another persons life.
