Since when I was a child I wanted to be a physician. I love to help people and get them feel good. That makes me very happy and self rewarding . I like to show my care and passion to whom in need especially vulnerable-sick people. However, my life where I grow up was not easy and I could not achieve my dream. In 2009, I started my journey to be a physician, but with a student wife and two babies could not make it. Few years ago, I met a guy how is now my big friend and brother told me about physician assistant position. I searched about the PA school and their requirements and now I am working as care provider to meet the one of the PA school requirements. I have made great impact on most if not all patients that I helped and I always look forward to improve and enhance my skills to be better.

I became a caregiver because I enjoying helping people. Assisting others whether in the hospital, skilled nursing , or home setting is rewarding. Many people have much pride and I think it is important to guide them into being as independent as they can for as long as they are able too both mentally and physically. My passion is assisting the older adult population. It is key to building both a trusting relationship with the person being cared for along with any family and or friends involved. Being a caregiver you get to meet many people. That would be my favorite part. I am a people person, and having strong communication skills and being trust worthy is a must. My first encounter with the geriatric population was when I was in high school I volunteered at the skilled nursing facility my great grandmother lived in. After meeting the residents, and assisting them during activities I knew I wanted to be a caregiver. I have worked in the hospital setting for 10 years, customer service for 1 year, and a patient care assistant for 9. I graduated with my bachelor degree in interdisciplinary health services, and have a master degree in occupational therapy, although not certified at this time. Some of my hobbies are playing sports, working out, being outdoors, reading, meeting new people, and spending time with my family.

I am fun, funny, and a good listener. I am a hard worker. I want to assist you with things you find important in a way you would like them done. My background is as a special education teacher. I have been caregiving for the past five years and greatly enjoy it.

I'm recently retired after a long business career in the healthcare industry. I want to be a caregiver to help those in need and hopefully bring smiles to them while I'm helping them navigate what difficultly they might be facing. It's very hard as a family member trying to find someone to help your mother, father or other family member. Trust is hard to find because its scary to have someone you don't know care for someone you love in their setting. I will provide the highest quality of service and go out of my way to make sure the person I care for has a great experience. I can help in many ways. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, yard work, driving to appointments, taking care of pets etc. I want to help. Thanks

I became a caregiver because I saw the need that individuals needed in being assisted. I always helped my grandmother until she passed, at an early age I obtained a heart that was sincere and compassionate. I love helping others whether it's care or just companionship I'm able to give a piece of myself. My personal achievement that I am proud of is being on the Dean's List at Western Michigan University maintaining a 3.6 gpa while working two jobs and raising two children as a single parent. I am a hard working with a loving heart. I put my all into what I do.
