About Yolanda

1. I became a Caregiver because people need someone to show compassion toward others who are ill, confused or transferring to the next life. Being a caregiver is more than just a job, it's a spiritual connection. It takes a angelic person to have the patience, compassion and love for others. Caregiving comes from the heart. It's more than just being on paper, you have to live it. I like being there for someone else who is unable to provide for themselves. It's exciting to see self sufficiency in others because it shows that they are determined to strive forward and not look back. My personal achievement is when I became an Healthcare professional. I graduated with honors in CNA school. I am in process of completing nursing school in the fall. I am a pet parent of two male Shih Tzu's, 45 years of age, single, born again Christian who loves serving God. I grew up in a household of spirit filled parents who instructed me to go after my dreams and pursue them. .

    Romel F.

    $25.00/hour · Long Beach, CA
    I'm a compassionate and patient kind of person. I'm a single dad to a 11-year old daughter after taking care of my wife who died of cancer for 3 years. My mantra in life is to treat other people the way I wanted to be treated. My daughter is always saying that I'm too nice. People who would meet me and my daughter for the first time are saying that I'm raising my daughter as kind and polite as I am. I'm eager to learn new knowledge and open to suggestions. I would rather ask questions than pretend to know everything and fall short of the expectations. I always put myself in my patients'shoes to understand them better. It is not them but it's the illness that is making them not to be themselves at the moment. It feels great to be appreciated by the patient and their family for what i've done to lighten the everyday pain in their lives. I'm proud with what I do, and I find other ways to do my best by adding value to the career I've chosen to do.
