Profile
I am a caring, loving person who loves to help others. I have gained experience as a child caring for my grandmother. My grandmother always cared for myself and my siblings, do when she became ill, there were no other options except for me to take over and became her caregiver. I was merely in high school, she had Alzheimer’s and dementia. She was also wheelchair bound. It wasn’t an easy process but I learned that having patience is the key in caring for persons with Alzheimer’s and dementia. I have a business degree but felt as if something missing . I then went back to caring for persons who are ill and needs patience, understanding and loyalty was where I was happiest. I have worked in a nursing home, hospital and in patients private homes or assisted living homes. I cared for so many I’m good at what I do and will take care of your family members as I would my own. I’m very honest and reliable. Thank You for reading and considering me to care for your loved ones.
