About Monica

I'm a 56 year old grandmother of 2. I have always wanted to help others. I love to see my clients smile, make them feel cared about and loved. When I first got started in this career I thought is was going to be a temporary thing. But 12 years later I can tell you that I love what I do.

I am attentive, creative, enthusiastic and hard working. I always feel I have room for improvement to be the best possible caregiver to clients- giving them patience and caring for their wellbeing, as well as their mental and physical needs. I became a caregiver to help, even though I didn't think I'd be a good caregiver. It was evident in my first day of training that I thought wrong. I have a natural instinct for helping and guiding others, allowing them to be independent yet assure them that I am there to help. To see that clients are smiling and are genuinely thankful for my assistance shows me I did a good job.

I started my journey as a caregiver with my father who had cancer. This snowballed into taking care (at the same time) of my husband who was diagnosed with cancer also. They died a year apart from one other. My experience in caregiving for them is priceless. The lessons I learned are invaluable. After that I moved in with a elderly lady who needed assistance with cleaning, cooking, bathing, doctor appointments, ect. She died three years later. About that time my mother was needing more assistance. I handled her health issues (which were many), cleaning, cooking, entertainment. I cared for her through hospice at my home when the time came. I then for two years worked with a lady who had dementia and type one diabetes. I have a tremendous amount of empathy for senior citizens. They are wonderful people who need companionship and help doing their day to day chores. The older you get, the harder it gets for simple everyday actives, chores. I am compassionate, honest and have a great sense of humor. I would love to get to know you.
