I'm a mother of 5 and grandmother to 13. I've worked as a caregiver for the last 15+ years and counting. I love my clients and working with the elderly. What started out as a job became second nature and probably alot of that has to do with my cultural background. I loved it so much, I paid for my own training and certifications to be an independent caregiver. I got bonded, insured and registered with the state and I have several great references from the loving families of those whom I have cared for over the years. I've had great experiences with those who I have worked for and with, along with learning from wonderful nurses and doctors that I've interacted with during the care of many of my clients. I am very proud of the achievements I've made in taking the initiative to learn as I go with each client, and each client came with various conditions and ailments, and some with multiple conditions. It has been a great journey of growth and connection for me like no other and I find it so fulfilling to be able to help our elderly population in need. They have been all like family.

About me, I always wanted to be a registered nurse since I was a little girl. I didn't get that far the goal was to take care of people. I love what I do.

Integrity, hard-working, on time, pay attention to all details, and give my clients the compassion and love they deserve! That's me!

I specialize in providing a higher level of care for clients who value trust, professionalism, and peace of mind. I have 10 plus years of caregiving experience as a private caregiver & IHSS background. I'm a reliable, consistent professional whose comfortable working independently or with others. I value having strong communication with the families of the client. What attracted me, is seeing how elderly people don't get a lot of support and attention from their family in some cases. Also, all they want and need is to know that they are loved and valued. I like to bring light to their world when it may seem like they don't have it. It's very rewarding for me to know that I did something to bring the people I care for joy and good energy. And seeing them laugh and smile makes me smile. Proud of the fact that years later, I still get calls from clients family members requesting my services for other family members or friends, or just to say hello.

I've been a caregiver all my life. I grew up with my grandmother since I was a little girl. I have learned to be patient and understanding when caring for my clients. The greatest reward I've experienced being a caregiver is always making my clients satisfied of my service that they look forward to seeing me again.
