I have been a caregiver for 10 or more yrs! I love everything about it knowing that I am helping people or just giving them someone to talk to. I've done home health, private duty, and as of now I have been in the hospital setting for 9 yrs! I have a deep passion for my job and I know that one day I will need help so I always make sure I give the same care I would expect to have or for someone in my family to get. It's the littlest things that mean the most to someone!

I became a Caregiver because i hate to see people suffer, i hate seeing people not be able to do something and some people not even help them out. I feel like i was born to help people who are in need and make them feel new again. My favorite thing about being a Caregiver is just knowing that i helped someone out during my day, knowing that i took my time and made sure someone was feeling okay and if they weren't i tried to make them a little happier then how they were in the begin of the day. When i was doing clinical and i was in the Dementia unit at Harbor Health just knowing i put a smile on someones face during the day, or even changing there diaper, or giving them a shower sometimes its even letting them tell you stories that just makes them happy. That is the kind of stuff that makes my day, makes me proud. I am a all around nice person i have bad days but no one can ever tell. I still have a smile on my face and im in a great mood. I love helping others and taking care of people even if it is little kids.

I am very organized and I pay attention to detail. I like to be a caregiver because it is very rewarding to me. I like to help people and make their lives a little easier. I have a little boy and he would be the achievement that I am most proud of. I enjoy spending as much time as I can with him. I also, want to be a good example for him and teach him that caring for others will bring good into his life.
