Over the past several years, I have provided full-time care for two close family members during the most vulnerable periods of their lives. After my father passed away, my mother lived with me for six years. In the final two months of her life, following a broken kneecap and her decision to forgo surgery, she became completely bedridden and was placed on hospice care. I took on every aspect of her daily needs—feeding, bathing, repositioning, managing medications, and offering emotional support. I ensured her comfort through thoughtful attention to the smallest details: her favorite music, cozy blankets, preferred sleeping positions, and the drinks she loved most. These seemingly minor things became essential to her peace and dignity.
Following my mother’s passing, I became the primary caregiver for my sister during the last year and a half of her life as she battled cancer. In her final months, her cognitive abilities began to decline, and she suffered two absences seizures. She was placed on hospice and required 24-hour care. I assisted with toileting, monitored her medications, and tended to her nasal cavity bandages after she had undergone a nasal removal due to cancer. I learned to anticipate her needs without her having to ask—watching her closely, understanding her moods, and adapting to what brought her comfort and joy.
These experiences taught me that caregiving is not just about physical tasks—it’s about presence, empathy, and honoring the humanity of those in your care. I discovered that my greatest strength lies in my ability to observe, listen, and respond intuitively. I am a people pleaser by nature, and while that can be challenging in some settings, it becomes a gift when caring for those who are unable or unwilling to ask for help. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and prioritized—especially the elderly, who often go unnoticed.
I want to use this gift to serve others in a meaningful way. My goal is to work in elder care, where I can bring comfort, dignity, and joy to those who need it most. I understand the importance of the little things, and I am committed to making a difference—one person, one moment, one smile at a time.
I am ready to bring the same level of care, attentiveness, and compassion I gave my family to others who need it most. My experiences have taught me that caregiving is not just a job—it’s a calling. I understand how to meet both physical and emotional needs, and I take pride in noticing the little things that make a person feel truly cared for. I want to use my natural empathy and dedication to make a meaningful difference in the lives of elderly individuals. If given the opportunity, I will show up every day with patience, kindness, and a deep respect for the people I serve. I’m not just looking for a job—I’m looking to be someone’s comfort, someone’s advocate, and someone they can count on.
I would also like to add I do have small children that require me to be home during certain times. Weekend can be available if need be. They get on the bus by 8:30 am and are home by 4:00pm.
