Caregiver

Hometown: Bridgeport, CT

About yourself: I love to play cards, bingo and volleyball, and go to the gym.

Why and when did you choose your profession? My mother was a nurse in Jamaica. When I was 18 years old, just out of high school, she needed someone to help her over a weekend with a case. I encouraged her to train me. Having been involved in the care for so many lives for so long, I decided to follow my heart. I have compassion to care for and love the elderly. One day, we will all need this kind of care. Like the people I care for, I would want someone who is trustworthy, honest, and just always there for me.
