I've always been a natural care-taker. I practically raised my 4 younger siblings. I nannied while I was in college to help pay for school and had so many referrals that I had to stop taking clients. It is through one of those families that I eventually became a caretaker, the grandmother only wanted me to take care of her after watching how I was with her grandchildren. I am very patient, kind, understanding and I don't need to be told what to do. I pay attention to what needs to get done and if I see something needs doing I do it. I am always learning and will research on how I can do better. I love school and love learning so I am always researching new and better techniques but I have 10 years of experience in taking care of children and seniors so I know what needs to be done and I'm good at it. I enjoy being a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy helping people. I am very proud of learning physical therapy techniques so that I can properly help my clients with light exercises that help them to feel better. I am also a good cook, so I can help prepare meals and genuinely enjoy cooking. I am a great companion and can't wait to meet my new client.

I have alot of years of caregiving experienceI also do all levels of house cleaning, errands, trips, companion, excercising etc. I do whatever needs to be done with individual to make them snjoy thier daily life. Fun facts:iam a retired opera singer, love crosswords, and I love to listen to swing music!

1. I became a Caregiver over ten years ago, working in hospitals and helping the nurses treat the in-house patients. I also, took care of discharged patients in their homes and reported to the treatment team when needed. 2. I like Caregiving because it gives me a sense of joy, knowing that I have helped and a patient happy. 3. I am proud of my ability to share my talents and knowledge with the healthcare team. 4. I am always seeking ways too increase my healthcare knowledge and be up to date on skills.

My experience is with mentally and physically impaired youth but I'm looking to transition into senior care as I feel it's a very similar skill set and I truly enjoy the company of elders and bonding with those of generations before me.

I'm a wife and mom for fours kids 18,15,11 and 7. I have the ability and patience to deal with elders and take care of them.
