I entered my journey into health care at an early age (25 yrs. as a caregiver and 6 yrs. as a CNA). As a teenager in 1986, I started caring for family members and others by helping my mother who was a nurse and physical therapist. When family members became extremely ill, they were moved into our home and cared for by my mom and myself. I learned that caring for others was a desire of mine and it came easily to me, just like breathing it’s in my soul. Being passionate about caring for others directed me to advance my knowledge and be more than a Caregiver or Certified Nurse Assistant. I have dedicated my life to continuing my education and building my knowledge in healthcare so that I can continue to provide healing to those in need. I believe that caring for the well-being of others should be based on the whole person, which is their mind, body and spirit. I think Western Medicine (conventional medicine) with Holistic Health can help provide the care that is needed for loved ones. This is possible by combining the directions and medication given by a physician along with including spiritual and mental health, nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, meditation, therapeutic touch, exercise, energy work, acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic procedures and caring and preparing loved ones for their afterlife journey. With this combination of care treatments, I believe that myself and other care providers are able to give 100 percent care for the whole person.

Since I was young I loved to take care of others either old or young, I love to help people and make them smile. I love meeting new people and providing care that they can no longer do for themselves unless with a small assistance. providing care to my great grand mother, grandmother and grandfather and all lived past 92 years. I am very out-going and I love to help other people either young or old. I have CPR and First aid.I also have a degree in health Administration but I still love helping those in need . I am a certified CNA and Home Health Aid .

I became a Caregiver because I love making a difference in someone's life. What I love being a Caregiver is to see that whoever am taking care of, is able to become independent by doing certain things that she was never able to do but through my help, she's able to do them now. And that's my happiness. Am proud to see that there is some improvement on one's personal life and the person is able to do certain activities by her own. I am a loving, respectful, and above all very helpful person and kind at heart. I am always ready to learn new things and take challenges that comes on my way. I am a person who will never stop at nothing before my work is done and some satisfaction from my client.

I am very passionate about providing loving care to people. It bring me joy to know that I have made another individual feel safe and happy around me. Becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant was an unexpected blessing to me and I have embraced every moment since I started in this field. I have been in the Medical Field for 10 years now from working in Medical Records to the Front Desk, but interacting directly with the patient and being hands on is the best part. It makes me feel appreciated to know that while in their presence and under my care, I am providing a diligent service that speaks highly for itself. I am able to manage multiple task simultaneously, I have great communication skills that make the client and their family feel comfortable interacting with me, and I am very energetic and take pride in providing great care. I’m the type of person on whom my clients will and can depend on.

I have been working as a caregiver for the past 16 years. I love to help seniors in what ever their needs demand. I believe, love for seniors is something that comes naturally in me. I was raised in a culture that takes care of our senior loved ones and that is probably why it comes naturally. I have lost both parents whom I love and very close to. All my previous clients, I respect and take care of them like I'm taking care of my own.

-I recognize the fact that seniors are very proud and want to maintain dignity in every area of their lives for the rest of their life. I give 100% of myself to ensure it happens the way they want it to and never super impose my life's philosophy on them. The little things of old mean so much to seniors and I provide them what they need to feel confident and safe; giving them the ability to trust that I have their best interest at heart. If my senior is not comfortable with a suggestion I will never force it. -I became a caregiver to give back to a special class of people who have taught me so much about life, giving, and the restoring of things that others give up on. Seniors have lived and have such a rich history that I love to hear about. My life is richer because a senior took the time to teach me about right choices and decisions. -I like being a caregiver because I love making a difference in the life of individuals wanting to maintain as much of the full quality of their life as possible; without interruption. It's an accomplishment and a great reward for me. -A personal achievement which I am very proud of is giving a client the confidence to push forward and never give up on things she loves doing; getting her hair and nails done, playing bridge, making those doctor's appointments, and entertaining at the tender age of 86. My ability to motivate her and get her where she wants to be; even when she doesn't feel like it, is one of my most proudest achievements.

I have been a care giver for 13 years. I am very passionate, loving and caring person. I have dealt with individuals who have bipolar, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia etc. I am a certified trainer in CPR/FIRST-Aid also I am certified by the state to train medication administration. I am a great listener and have much patience.

I feel that my welcoming bedside matter. I make my client and there family feel comfortable, I treat my client with respect, and have them keep their dignity. I became a caregiver at a early age. My grandmother was going blind, and she went total blind, I was nine.. my sister and I both were awarded custody to my grandmother. I know how it is to lose apart of you. I was paying bills for my grandmother, making sure people didn't take advantage of her.. helping her with her cloths. This where the reason why I do what I do.. I enjoy helping people that need my assistance. Being a caregiver started helping my grandmother adapt to loosing her sight... I also was a type of kid that would go to the elder that lived in our building, and do aron's for them...I have always been an old soul, that is what my grandmother called it.. I guess you can say my this is my destiny.. I will bring nothing but kindness, compassion, and patients to your love ones..

Married with 4 adult children and 9 grandchildren. Born and raised in Pittsburgh pa. I was groomed into this field by my grandmother. She was the youngest and only girl of 7. My grandmother migrated from the south a town called Little Rock Arkansas. My grandmother didn't believe in nursing homes unless they were absolutely necessary. Every time one of her Brothers came close to death, they would come to Pittsburgh we all take care of them in shifts. My grandmother had 13 grandchildren and we all did our part to take care of her brothers. Each and every one of them. I didnt like it at first , I was only 14, but through time...I have grown to love taking care of people. This is one of the most rewarding jobs you could have. My grandmother has gone on to glory but she left a great legacy. And it lives in all of her children and grandchildren.

I became a care giver as a way of giving back after my mother passed away. It is important to me to bring about a kind, compassionate way of getting around the inevitable. I enjoy people and have a great deal of respect for the elderly and understand how hard life can become, when independence starts slipping away therefore; I try to make peoples lives easier a day at a time.

I have lost a lot of family members over the years. In those years I learned the importance of companionship with loved ones. I totally understand the wanting of finding that one person that you can trust and rely to take care of your loved ones. Having a sick family member is very emotional and difficult to cope with. All you want is to find that caregiver that you can trust to look and assist your sick relative as if he or she was part of your family. I am that caregiver.
