Montgomery College

I'm from Brazil originally! I used to be a Nursing Assistant there but 12 years ago I moved to USA. About 3 years ago I took the Nursing Assistant class at Montgomery college, after that I worked for 3 years at Hebrew Home in Washington DC. I have lots of experience and great references I am happy to provide!

To be able to help people out who cannot help themselves and make them smile each day they wake up. Being able to make someone to smile. when l make someday day .I m a student at Montgomery college studying physical therapy.

In my family I watched my grandparents and parents take care of the seniors, elders or who ever needed care in our family. Taking care of the people who once took good care of me became a part of my nature. I care for my grandparents when they no longer was able to take care for themselves and one day I will return the favor to my parents and care for them. I became a companion/caregiver because they are so many people who do not have family members that are able to care for them in their seniors years. And since I was nurture from a child to care for people who are in need of tender loving care. This profession chose me. Meeting people from all walks of life and listening to their life stories is like living in their time. Companionship is what most people miss the most in their life. And to just take the time out to listen to their life experiences is good for their well being. My greatest achievement to any person of any age I care for is smiling. If I can get a client to recognize it is okay to smile about any situation you are going through. Then being an companion and caregiver to them is worth the time, effort and patience.

I am truly delighted to be a caregiver because I show my clients/resident lots of love, tender loving care, and my exemplary trait patience. They are very special to me and I obviously love my job with a heartfelt compassion.

I am a great caregiver because am dependable, reliable, team player and above all compassionate. I become a caregiver because I like being around people especially the ones who are in need.

I enjoy any opportunity that involves helping others. More importantly, caring for the beloved ill and elderly. Am studying nursing working toward an RN status. Have cared for terminally ill family members in the past and would like to continue my service that the best of my ability.

When I came to the United States about ten years ago, I noticed there are lots of senior homes for the elderly. I was amused because where I come from(Sierra Leone, West Africa), we do not have such institutions. So that was initially what pulled me into becoming a caregiver. I then started by attending a caregiver school and became a GNA in 2011. I also went further to become a CMT(certified medicine technician), and now I'm in Montgomery Community College taking my prerequisites for Nursing to one day becoming a BSN. In the process of all this, I have come to love and enjoy what I do as a career. There are a lot of things that I enjoy so far being a caregiver, especially being dependable upon. When I look at the elderly here, I miss my grandparents back home the most; so whenever I get the opportunity to care for a senior, it brings a feeling of fulfillment in my life, that it challenges me to do my best in all I do for them. Through this I have learned and master that whatever it is that I do for the elderly, if I am not PRESENT, there is no way I'll be able to make an impact in that senior individual's life. So I make sure I am PRESENT mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically when I care for an elderly. I am also dependable, reliable, trustworthy, credible, and supportive, all which I considerto be my personality traits. My goal is to always make a positive impact in my elderly clients lives. I'm also a mother of three precious children ages Nine, Five, and One. Whenever I leave home for work, my Five year old endeavors to always ask me "Mommy are you going to take care of someone today?" I would then say "Yes Jemma, I am going to do just that!" I feel proud of myself because I know through my work, I'm teaching these little people I'm in care of, the real essence of CARING.

I have years of experience, I recently took a dementia friendly training, that makes me more compassionate to those I care for.

I'm honest, caring, reliable, kind and trustworthy. I am compassionate and I enjoy working with the elderly. I treat people with dignity and respect and I develop a great working relationships with the families.
