After finishing my Certification Nurse aid training, I have been a caregiver for 2 and a half years now. I know it doesn't seem like a lot of experience but I have worked with many different kinds of residents. I have trained at a Nursing home, but have found I like working one on one with residents. So I became a private home caregiver, I love connecting with the family and the resident. I am proud of doing the very best I can for my residents from the start of my shift until the end of my shift and I like to make sure they are okay and well before I leave. That's just a small summary about me.

Hi my name is Jannel. I'm well organized, and have great time management. I enjoy being a caregiver because it makes me feel good to know I'm able to help someone who can't do things for themselves. Being a caregiver makes my heart smile.

Growing up with my grandparents, I was always learning something new. From seeing my grandmother slowly loose her ability to walk to calling 911 after my grandfather missed his step & fell. As I watched them slowly go down hill, I became helpful to them. It gave me a good feeling knowing that I was able to help my grandparents in more ways than one. From that, it inspired me to go to school to get my CNA license. To work in this field, you need to be compassionate, dedicated, & caring. Growing up with my grandparents, I have acquired those skills. This isn't just a job for me, it's not just helping someone else, your family member or kupuna become my family member or Kupuna. The most I enjoy from this job is the smile & thanks I get at the end of the shift knowing that I did my job.

What I enjoy most about being a care giver is actually caring for the elderly or people that's in need of help, because I'll do it all with a smile on my face. What attracts me to be a caretaker is that I love helping others ! Makes me happy seeing others smiling or getting help. My personality traits that help me be a great care giver is that I have patience, I am understanding, Helpful, Caring & non judgemental.

I'm 41yrs old born and raise in hawaii very outgoing easily to get along with love being a caregiver. I really enjoy what I do
