About Bertha

I think anyone who is a caregiver should love the job, and I can say that I definitely love the work that I do. I grew up with my grandparents who lived to be 99 and 102 years old. I enjoyed caring for them and I extend that love to the other people whom I care for. I have been a caregiver for over thirteen years, and I just love what I do. My mother is 93 years old and unfortunately the distance between us makes it impossible for me to care for her. So as a caregiver, I care for people as if they are my mother. I provide my patients with the highest level of care, the same kind that I would want my mother to receive.

I became a caregiver because of my love and passion for elderly people. I have always loved assisting elderly people with their daily activities, including grooming, bathing, and feeding. The good health of my clients is one of my top priorities. I am proud of the fact that I have been able to work with elderly people over the past three years. My job as a caregiver has provided me with experience in many different areas. I have good communication skills and would love to bring joy into the lives of elders and their families.
