I started caregiving after I got into nursing school. I like that I work with clients hands on and am able to make such a difference in their day to day life.

I became a Caregiver when my mom became ill with cancer. Being her Caregiver at home and working with Caregivers while she was in the hospital gave me a huge appreciation for the blessing that is a patient, kind, and empathetic Caregiver. I enjoy being a Caregiver because I enjoy getting to know others and learn about their lives. Helping clients and their families is incredibly rewarding. My biggest personal achievement has been my family. About me: I am 28 years old and I live in Hemet. I have a Bachelor's degree in History. I al so completed a Certified Nursing Assistant program and I am a Licensed CNA through the California Department of Public Health. I am also CPR certified. I have over 6 years of experience as a Caregiver. I have worked in Nursing homes and for home health care agencies. I have experience working with a wide variety of medical needs.

What makes me a great caregiver is that I am patient and very compassionate. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make a client comfortable because I understand that with old age there comes several difficulties. I enjoy being a caregiver because it allows me to make someone else's life easier and provide ease and relief to family members knowing that their loved one is in good hands.

I have always considered to care for individuals who need assistance in their homes. Most experience is from taking care of clients and family members. Training has also given me the knowledge and experience working with family memebers who count on the care of other family members to care for them. I like being able to make clients comfortable when in need of home care. I like seeing a smile on there faces for the help and support I can provide for them. My personal achievements are being able to work and continue my education. I have a wonderful family three kids of my own and always likes to shop or just a walk on the beach and watch the sunset. Always kind and cinsiderate of their emotions , caring, and always making sure my client is comfortable. Very patient with people, warm hearted. Having a close family member needing special attention for the rest of his life inspired me to be dedicated in the healthcare area. This has allowed me to experience many different care options and given me the opportunity to understand conditions as well. I love being a caregiver helping the elder when they need help to care for themselves.
