Priscilla B
PROFESSIONAL CAREGIVER
Priscilla's calling to caregiving began in high school when she cared for her grandmother, sparking a passion that has since defined her seven-year career as a compassionate and skilled Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Her dedication to her work is paralleled only by her love for her children, with both driving her commitment to excellence in her profession.
Priscilla's approach to care is rooted in three fundamental principles: love, care, and truth. These values are reflected in her interactions with her clients, creating deep bonds of trust and respect, evidenced by her longest client relationship that spanned an impressive five years.
Known for her punctuality and appreciation for consistency, she has become a reliable fixture in her clients' lives, providing stability and comfort. Her experience is broad and includes expertise in managing dementia and Parkinson's care, mobility impairment challenges, catheter care, post-hospital care, administering breathing treatments, and the use of bedside commodes.
In her personal life, Priscilla finds solace and strength in her faith, attending church regularly, which reinforces her commitment to providing empathetic care. Her leisure time is often spent engrossed in movies, a hobby that allows her to unwind and connect with her clients over shared interests.
Priscilla has also provided hospice care, a testament to her ability to offer support, dignity, and comfort during the most critical times. Her holistic approach to caregiving ensures that she meets the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those she serves, making her a caregiver of exceptional caliber.
