About Anita

I became a caregiver because helping people is what I love doing most. I love being of service to others, that in and of itself is rewarding. Clients rely on us as caregivers to help them meet their needs, and with the use of hard work, integrity, compassion and understanding, I'm able to help them meet their individual needs. Being a caregiver is really hard work at times and it can be very stressful, but seeing a smile on their faces makes it all worthwhile. I love what I do and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've accomplished a lot as a young adult. I graduated high school one year early and I'm currently working towards my A.A. at Cabrillo College. I plan to major in sociology with a minor in Psychology.

    Having worked in various health care professions, I find it a passion of mine to work with our elderly senior populations. I have both professional and personal experience working with loved ones who may be suffering from Diabetes, requiring assistance with meal preparations, running errands, and providing positive companionship with someone who suffers from Dementia & Alzheimer's Disease. I am proud to say that I am an honorable person who truly cares about anyone they work with, and I will always treat all individuals I provide care for as if they are my own family.

    I am patient and considerate, and understanding of both mental and physical health needs. I uphold Christian values of charity, respecting all persons, and I genuinely like people. I have some experience working with the elderly, sick, and youth in both volunteer and working environments. Additionally, I have experience caregiving to nonhumans; horses and dogs (even endangered trees) in public service. Generally I have a natural concern for the well being of all living creatures, but humans more so.
