About Wanda

I am an honest, trustworthy, punctual, patient, outgoing and a dependable person who has true Christian standards when it comes to how I take care of people. I'm detail oriented and believe in the safety and positive wellbeing of those that I care for. I became a caregiver because after assisting my mom with my father who succumbed to Alzheimer's & cancer and assisted my sister -in- law with my brother who succumbed to cancer, I knew from helping my family that I could help other families in need. I enjoy being their companion and making them smile when they are having a difficult day. I sing to those I take care of sometimes. My personal achievement that I am proud of honestly is that I feel I helped to keep one of my clients alive a whole year longer because based on my observation (I cared for her for 3 years) I suggested that the medication shouldn't be given unless it was necessary vs. 3 or 4 times a day and the family listened and that made us all happy.

Substitute Teacher

Jan 2015 - May 2016
Palo Verde Elementary School
I loved this job because I loved the students, especially kindergarten-5th. I had the opportunity to teach the students some of my own techniques in spite of the fact that I do not have a degree in teaching and was respected for that. The school staff support is awesome and I miss being there but I couldn't continue to work both fields so I had to discontinue teaching.
