About Patrice

I have over 10 years experience as a Caregiver. I worked for Angels For Elders in Wimberley, Texas. My experience as a caregiver gave me a diverse group of people with different needs and disabilities. I loved being a caregiver because my gifts were being used to my full extent. I am very passionate about helping others in their daily lives and making a difference in their attitude on life. I have worked in various careers and now after taking a break from my position as a caregiver I have found I am missing the position which allows me to use what I was meant to do and that is being a caregiver. I am a hard worker and go above and beyond for client relationships. I would say my personal achievement as a caregiver was when I worked with a client who was deeply depressed because she had become paralyzed after a back surgery. I worked for her for 3 years. The beginning was tough because she had basically given up. My energy and personality grew on her and she went from laying in bed everyday for 6 mos. to getting herself in her van and driving herself on outings. I was able to turn her life around and upon moving on to a new client Alison was starting her life happily over and was able to take care of herself in her daily life.
