About Ricardo

Ever since i was young i helped take care of my disabled sister and occasionally my grandmother. It felt good knowing that what i did made a difference in the lives of others and that i can make a change even in small ways. What i like most about my career is my relationship that i hold with the individuals that i have taken care of over the years, i also meet new people and they share their experiences with me. Getting my nursing assistant license and working at a nursing home for some time were some accomplishments that i was proud of. I am currently attending college and looking for part time work. I am from a family of five siblings, I enjoy playing guitar and spending time with friends and family.

    I love working with the elderly because I feel like I'm making a difference in someone's life. Knowing I made someone's day better it's priceless. I also enjoy working with the elderly because I learn so much from them and their life experiences, making me become a better person each day.

    I really enjoy working with people in a home care setting, it is essential that a caregiver feel the desire to want to help. I think most importantly showing both empathy and compassion each day. I feel my happiest and best while helping out. It helps to put yourself in the other person's shoes and what it might be like to ask people for help. I have lots of patience and believe it's one of the reasons I make a good caregiver.I did Licensed Childcare for over 20+ years. I'm reliable, and also flexible. I believe a great caregiver is someone that can be counted on to be there. I enjoy being a caregiver as I have a natural ability to help out and feel most proud of my achievements with helping with my dementia clients.
