I became a Caregiver because I wanted to help families provide their loved ones with expectational care. I want to provide quality care to those that can't do for themselves as they once could without compromising their self worth and dignity. I want to provide the care, attention and loving attitude I would expect to be given to my parents or loved one if they required it.

I became a caregiver because I love to help others. Because I don't believe in nursing homes; unless care has become more than family can provide at home. Because sometimes those we love just need an extra helping hand to stay in a home they are comfortable in and love. I love seeing my patients eyes light up when they know I'm there to help. When they become part of me just like an extension of my own family. Becoming an EMT was a goal I set for myself a few years back and I was very proud of accomplishing my goal. I love knowing that no matter what situation I find myself in, I'm more than capable and confident to handle the situation in a calm, caring, efficient manner.
