Kelvyn Park High School

I am currently 31 years old, mother of two. I have been a home care aid (5years) and personal assistant (2yrs) The reason I became a caregiver was due to the fact when I was 7mths pregnant with my oldest child; my mother had a stroke that effect her short &long term memory and was in much needed help at home with her daily need due to the fact my mother has difficulty remembering certain things like she did years ago; I felt she needed someone to help her on the things she might need on her day to day routines but since she didn't like stranger in the home I became a caregiver to show her caregiver aren't just stranger they can become part of your family as well. I am very familiar with all house cleaning, washing clothes, assisting with elderly needs, washing dishes, organizing furniture, running errands, cooking (basics), assist with bathing. I currently have desired work schedule of which would consist of Thursdays -Friday 9-1pm Saturday (open) Sunday 8am-5 p.m. I am mostly flexible with any job description except for transportation which at the moment I don't own a vehicle.

I carry all 7acts of kindness Positivity, Engagement, Motivation ,Honesty ,Reliability ,Flexibility and Patience . I love to be able to help others in need .

I have been working as a caregiver for 3 years and love it. It's the perfect job for me. After losing my mom who had a caregiver and battling cancer twice. I wanted to give back. Our seniors are too often forgotten. My mother loved her caregiver. I love people, I am compassionate and patient with their needs. Leaving the corporate world and caring for others is so rewarding. One of the best decisions I've made.

I am very patient and compassionate person. Who loves to meet all of my clients personal needs. I became a caregiver after I took care of my mother till the day of her passing in 1997. Then is when I realized it's what I love to do. My greatest achievement are all the past relationships I've created with my clients that I'm still in contact with.

I treat my clients like I would demand my mother be treated, i dont believe in calling my patients honey , sweetheart or darling ,it is Mr. Or Mrs. I became a CNA because of my mother in law , she was in the hospital and needed to be cleaned up and I could not find a nurse , so I did it myself,only to have a nurse walk in while I was cleaning her up and tell me that isn't not your job , and I politely said she needed some to do it and I couldn't find anyone so I did it myself. I treat people the way I would want my mother or granny to be treated with respect and dignity.
