Hello there I alway had a passion to work with the elderly as a companion/homemaker. Alway being there for the client making them feel happy have good conversation with them.

I became a Caregiver/ CNA because I enjoy helping others, especially the elderly. I get a sense of fulfillment when I can make someones day go by a bit easier-everyday. A personal achievement that I am proud of is being able to graduate college, and having returned to school to become a CNA. My Name is Desiree Thomas and I am 26 years old, and a mother to one. A college graduate with an Associates Degree- Associates of Science in Criminal Justice. I also have taken the state exam and I am currently a Registered Certified Nurse's Aid in which I obtained in 2014. I consider myself to be level-headed health professional who remains calm and effective in extremely difficult and stressful situations. I have a strong belief in importance of companionship and support in patient care.

I became a caretaker because, I love working with people. Nursing is a very rewarding field and I am proud to be in it. I am a very reliable and service focused individual looking for employment. I have a compassionate nature, personal care expertise to achieve the highest level of client satisfaction. I have been a CNA for over 27 years and still love what I do.

My curious nature and ease of connecting with people led me to the caregiver field. One of the best things about being a caregiver is meeting people from different walks of life and finding out how much we really do have in common with each other.

Hi, I'm Tasha and I became a caregiver when my grandmother was diagnosed with Dementia. Company was all she really needed to be happy. I enjoy putting a smile on others faces. I'm also very reliable, punctual, dependable, trustworthy, patient and caring.

I'm a great caregiver because I enjoy what I do. I love helping and taking care of others. I'm detailed oriented, cooperative and compassionate. I'm assertive and willing to advocate for my clients to ensure they get the care they need. I've been in this field since 2014 I grew up helping my aunt with daily living task such as ironing her clothes, preparing her medication, fixing her lunch and checking her sugar. Same for my dad medication reminders, ironing his clothes, fixing his lunch/dinner and this is what attracted me to being a caregiver. I enjoy seeing my clients happy and trusting that I will do the job I was hired for. I also enjoy making those connections with my clients and their families it really feel good when they know they're in good hands and I'm there to help not harm them. It's a rewarding field and you meet some wonderful people and build meaningful memories and I think that's what matter the most.

I am a mother , daughter and wife that I became a caregiver first than I go to school to learn to be a better care giver. I always happy finish to do my job after I see a smile on the person I gave care.

I have been a CNA for 17 years. My parents were both professionals in the healthcare industry and I took after them. I have always loved to serve others with my service and attention. I have 3 boys ranging from the age of 17 to 4 months old and enjoy them seeing me go out to serve others everyday as it aids with character and compassion in their own lives. Becoming a caregiver I am sure was destined for my life as it is a natural part of who I am. Loosing both my parents by the age of 21 was devastating. I begun my venture with Hospice by the age of 19, truly saved my life as I suffered briefly with depression from the unanticipated death of my parents. I served my hospice patients who knew they were dying and their families and in return they gave me a sense of good direction and advise as a parent or grandparent would and this in itself saved me from myself. I have mastered the art of being an exceptional caregiver and am proud of all my hard work and dedication thus far. The art of becoming an exceptional caregiver is simple... Listen, be honest and trustworthy

Hello! My name is Courtney and I absolutely love being a caregiver. I have cared for a few elderly people and it was by far my favorite job. It makes me happy to be able to care for people and help those who can no longer do certain things on their own. I also enjoy spending time with elderly people and sharing laughs and stories because they love the company and it brings their spirits up.
