Hi! I became a caregiver when my grandfather became terminally ill and facilities were not an option we desired. I remember as a teen going to the local nursing home to simply visit with some of the elders and pass out fruit baskets during the holidays. I became a CNA in 2006 and enjoyed knowing I alone made a difference in someone's everyday life. Although my certification has expired, I am currently CPR certified and have, up until recently continued care giving because I thoroughly enjoy it. I am a 40 year old mother of 4 and recently obtained a college degree in Criminal Justice. Although I am pursuing a higher degree, I want to continue caregiving until so. I give nothing less than the highest form of respect, care and understanding to the entire family as this is what I would want for myself and my loved ones.

I became a caregiver many years ago because I enjoy interacting with people of all ages, gender and race. I love knowing that my assistance enhances my clients quality of life. It is extremely important to me that I am dependable and have an upbeat personality. I love what I do!

I am 20 years old I'm in school right now for my Bachelors in Healthcare and management. I'm very outgoing I'm caring and have a huge heart in helping people. I've never actually been a caregiver put I've cared for my grandparents and I loved it. A personal achievement I am proud of is going to school and bettering my family .

Being a caregiver is rewarding it gives me satisfaction and a good feeling to be able to assist elders with things they can no longer do for themselves. I treat them as I would treat my own family members. Treat them with respect and let them know I am there to help them, not take away from their dignity. Just let them know they have someone who cares about them.
