I'm very caring and patient with my residents. I go out my way to check up on them an visit my residents that are sick or that might just need extra attention. I became a caregiver when I moved to Texas and love the people I have meet. I enjoy helping others an putting a smile on my patients faces.

I'm a nurturing individual who takes caregiving seriously. After assisting with the care of my grandparents, I felt drawn to caregiving. I enjoy helping other people. Caregiving is an important role and I think it's rewarding job. I dislike jobs where I feel like I'm wasting my time. I don't ever feel like I'm wasting my time when I'm caring for another person. I think that I stand out as a caregiver because of my dedication and joyful heart. I try my best every shift! I think I've had great success forming professional bonds with all of my clients. I provide quality care with genuine kindness.

It's my passion to help people. Six years ago I started as a computer engineering major at the University of Louisville only to find it wasn't nearly as fulfilling as I hoped it would be. I needed to feel that I was making a difference through social interaction. After quitting my job at UPS I found a job at a local hospital as a nursing assistant and instantly found my calling. Fantastic schedule and air conditioning were just the tip of the iceberg with this profession. Now with a couple years of experience I've decided to pursue a nursing degree and I'm currently working at Mayo Clinic on the abdominal transplant unit. Wouldn't change how any of this has worked out.

I believe that elders gave their times to our country, raised their children, times to the society, and when it's time to give it back why not? that's why I care. I like to hear their stories, and to see what are their basic need. My personal achievement is helped elders to be more independent, and guide them with the care plan. I am compassionate, reliable, and helped other relatives when it's appropriates

“I love what I do”. I love providing home caregiving services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoyed helping people so I know I am doing the right thing.

I always wanted to take care of people to give back

Taking care of people is part of who I am. I am a wife, mother of 5 and grammy of 6 beautiful grandkids. I have over 30 years in caregiver experience. I have worked in doctors offices, hospitals, ICU's, assisted living, hospice and home health environments. I truly enjoy making a difference in the lives of others. I currently work with a family that has two special needs children, and also take care of my parents that have stage 4 cancer. I managed an assisted living facility for several years and this is what prompts me to seek a caregiver role inside the home. Unfortunately, many of these places care more about the profits than they do caring for peoples loved ones. I want to make a difference. I want to provide the type of care that I would want for my own grandparents. It is a privilege to be entrusted with someones parent or grandparent.
