Making a positive impact in the lives of my clients and their family, I am a well trained caregiver, a compassionate individual who is personable and communicative. Taking care of others can be exhausting! Good caregiving requires long hours, lots of patience, being passionate, appreciating the individual being cared for, and having fun with them. My grandmother taught me the joy of helping others in this way. Learning about Memory Care issues in an effort to understand my father's illness, gave me the knowledge and experience to share with others. I use Person Centred Approach, fluid and malleable, changing and molding to the individual’s changing needs over time. Going above and beyond the duties assigned, making creative modifications due to limitations, I am able to handle new projects with confidence and humor. My personal commitment to a healthy lifestyle supports my profession.
