I have a beautiful smile, and I love being around people.
I’m a caring person I like to develop a bond with a person to let them know they can trust me.
My favorite part about caregiving is building rapport with clients and helping achieve independence.
My first healthcare job was 22 years. Over the years I have taken on many jobs but healthcare is what I always come back too. I do what I do so my client can stay at home as long as possible. I also love the personal time I am able to spend with them. I’ve seen what a long term facility can do to some individuals.
I am a dedicated individual accustomed to working and communicating with people.
I feel like my name makes me unique. Caregiving is important to me because I feel like one day I’m going to get old and need assistance. I would want somebody to see me how I see after my clients.
I like to think I am a good observer; paying attention to what’s going on around me helps me anticipate potential needs. I enjoy helping people. I spent a bit over three years with U.S. Peace Corps. That experience was life-changing for me for a number of reasons. The person I helped for about 15 months with Seniors Helping Seniors and I became good friends. We sort of thought of each other as family.
