About Olga

Why did you become a Caregiver? I'v recently completed my LVN program pending my licensing. I became an Caregiver and entered the medical field in honor of my aunt Blanca whom I helped during her battle with breast cancer. What do you like about being a Caregiver? I sincerely love working with clients and helping them with all their needs. What is a personal achievement you are proud of? My biggest achievement is completing nursing school at age 38 years old. Tell us something about yourself. I'm a mother of 3, ages 20,19,17 years old. I love being a mother and have spent the last 20 years raising my children. I decided to finally finish school and now pending my licensing as an LVN. I plan one day to complete my RN as well. My new found love is walking! I've lost approximately 135lbs this past year as well. I love cats and dogs and salt water fish tanks.

    I have compassion for the Elderly because I had a short time with my grandmother Juanita, she passed away at a very young age. She was an inspiration to me, she was wise and full of love. I want my clients to know that I care for them and they would get the best care. They deserve to be treated well and safe. I love hearing their stories, their wisdom and knowledge.
