I've been a CNA for 15yrs & a Caregiver for over 30yrs. I love taking care of people; learning about peoples lives & encouraging them. I love doing Respite Care. I love to interact with pediatric, geriatric & babies.

I am a go getter, I enjoy conversation and I enjoy what I do. I believe myself to be a very sympathetic and empathetic individual and that makes me a great caregiver because I can help my client by relating to their issues and reassuring them things will be ok. I am attracted to being a caregiver because I want nothing more than to help people. I believe every person is beautiful and they all share their own unique stories. I love to hear them all. I am proud that I can say I have been doing this work for over seven years and I wouldn't change it for the world. All the people I meet are amazing and wonderful people. I go home every night feeling accomplished that I might have made a difference in somone's day.

During my senior year of high school I received the privilege of being an intern at Battle Mountain General Medicine. The placed me in hospice care and I not only looked forward to it everyday, but it also make me realize that I really cared about these people. Every day I walked in and a few would call my name and others would be waiting in the lounge ready for our daily bingo or cards. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that I managed to move here to Carson city, find a job, and continue to pay my own way through school even though I am not even 20. One thing about myself is that I love going to work and going to school. I am not interested in the "party" life of a college student. Paying for my own schooling and also everything else I want and need has given me a new respect and also makes me look forward to my future.

I became a caregiver at age 18 when my grandmother was very ill and I realized I wanted to take care of her. My experience with care giving was great and I fell in love with it. This is why I continue to give a helping hand to those who need it. I'm only 20 yrs old, but I'm focusing on what I love to do the most.

Hello, I have been a care giver for over 9 years for the elderly and special needs. It is my hearts passion. I strive to bring the best respectful caring professional experience possible to my clients. So that they feel less uncomfortable having a stranger coming into there home. It's so important we never forget the great respect our elderly community deserves and our special needs community.

I'm a caregiver and a good one at that . I love being a companion to clients , who are less fortunate due to health . Everyone needs a hand and I'm happy to extend one .
