About Faustino JR

I am a loyal, honest and nurturing caregiver. I treat my clients like my own parents no matter how difficult their case may be. Since I took care of my father, caregiving became my passion. It boosts my energy when I hear the words "Thank You" from them. My most recent client was Studs Terkel. We forged a relationship over the last four years, which was mutually rewarding and inspiring. During this period, I coordinated his schedule with various contacts for interviews and other correspondences in addition to caregiving.

It has been my privilege to lovingly care for elderly people with dementia, starting with my mother-in-law. I enjoy entering their world and showing them the dignity, respect and gentle care our elders should have. I have become the trusted companion of each person I’ve cared for, and have served several of them for years at a time. Support for the family of the person I am companion to is a special part of my ministry. I am currently a part-time seminary student and simply love people. My desire is to bring joy and wisdom in caregiving to those I serve.
