I have experience as a caregiver for the elderly, and children with special needs. I love what I do. I feel I have the skills, enthusiasm, and drive to fit almost any situation. I enjoy making a difference and bringing smiles to the faces of the children/adults I work with. I am outgoing and funny but I take my position seriously. This is not just a job to me. I truly love it. It is fulfilling, and I feel honored to be a part of these peoples lives. I truly believe that my work improve's the person that I am. I have been in the care giving field for over 10 years, and I have worked in different areas, so my experience is diverse. I am always eager to learn new things to broaden my knowledge and skills.
