Kellogg Community College

My name is Joetta Williams and I am 34 years old. I have a passion for helping my elders and giving back to the community. I enjoy brightening up their days and creating memories with them and helping them stay active. As well as being a great companion even if it's just a listening ear.

I come from a large family and I took care of my siblings when my parents could not be able to, due to financial problems. I derived the joy of seeing my siblings complete education and get jobs and start families of their own. It is the greatest achievement I am so proud of because even when they were sick, I was there for them. I took care of their every need and today, they are very thankful. I have the passion to take care of all kinds of people and help them go on with their lives despite what their conditions may be, i love making even a small difference in their lives. I am reliable, respectful, honest, caring, confident and diligent in my work. I work hard and will always show up for work unless there is a situation beyond my control.

I became a caregiver after having to take care of my mother in law as she was passing away. I saw that there is a need for compassionate people that can handle situations such as mine. I like being a caregiver because it allows me to give quality of life to someone where there may have not been . A personal achievement I am proud of is returning to college at the age of 30 and becoming a member of the college's Honor Society, while working part time and raising a young child. I have been a Nursing Assistant since 2006. I also work at my son's school as a Lunch Supervisor. In my spare time I enjoy walking my puppies, taking pictures, singing Karaoke, dancing, making crafts and most of all spending time with my son and husband.

I am a great caregiver because, I have a passion for helping others. Being a caregiver is more than a job for me. God placed me on this earth to be at service for others, and being a caregiver gives me the opportunity to do just that. What I like most about being a caregiver is the smile on the faces of my clients when they are receiving genuine and compassionate care. I have worked in a nursing home setting, in client home setting , and in a group home setting. The place that I like to work most is in the home of my client, because in their homes they are more comfortable and allowed to be themselves. I am fun loving, good spirited, and easy going. I love people and I work best with people. Most importantly I am honest and very dependable, and I take the care of the elderly very serious.

I have an extremely compassionate personality and truly believe that everyone deserves to be respected and to receive great care, no matter what their beliefs, sex, race, orientation, or station in life. I enjoy creating a bond and relationship with everyone I come in contact with. It is important to have a position that I feel is making a difference in someone's life. I want my work to matter. I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician with the national organization Pharmacy Technician Certification Board. I take pride in my pharmacy and medication knowledge and will use a safety first approach to making sure that your loved one's medication is taken on time and properly. I am also very aware of HIPPA laws and will make sure that your loved one's information and care are private.

Hi! I'm a 19 (almost 20!) year old college student. I have a love for home health care as I have done it for 3 years. I had to leave my job as an HHA because I moved to battle creek and it was a far drive for work everyday. I'm hoping to get back into it! Other than nursing I love my two puppies and spending time with my family.
