Gresham High School

I'm a 27 year old caregiver. I started in this field when I turned 18 years old. I chose this field because I grew up with my mom working in a foster home and seeing how much she enjoyed what she did made me want to go into the same field. Since being a caregiver what I love the most and take pride in is being able to put a smile on someone's face. Being that consistent reliability in their lives especially for the ones who don't have anyone to really rely on. The most rewarding part is knowing at the end of the day that I have made a difference in someone's life and it's what keeps me going. Yes of course there are stressful times but reminding myself why I do what I do keeps me going.

I'm a 43 mom of 6. After my last child I decided to attain a full time job. As much as I love my job there are not enough caring, loving, respectful, honest caregivers. I love helping people. I'm heart is in homecare.

My name is Aracely Andrew Flentroy. I speak, write and read English and Spanish. I worked at Avamere as a Caregiver for two years and as a Med Aide for 2 years as well. When I started to work at Avamere I had no experience at all but as I worked there I started to know and to care for all the residents I used to take care of, and the love that they will give back to you for the care you do for them was the best thing ever. I enjoyed working there because you see the need they have and all the love they need even when sometimes it can get hard at the end they're appreciation and love that they give back that makes it all worth.

I love helping people, I've been around this kind of work since before I was able to go to school as a child. My entire family does work like this and I'm in love with it. I think it's an amazing job and an amazing opportunity to help people in need. I'm very respectful and responsible which I think is a need in this industry. I am working on the background check but I can promise you I've never been in trouble with anyone that's not my mom a day in my life. I'm a good kid and I don't want that to not give me the opportunities I want.

Overall goal to take care of each individual with compassion! Making sure each day is a celebration of there life and that all there basic needs are met; they are happy and safe! Always trying to stay happy, crack a joke followed with a smile! Helping other's always bring me Joy, being a caregiver is very rewarding knowing you making a difference. I enjoy having that relationship of being a companion for them.
