About Holly

I am a very patient individual who has a penchant for detail. I feel because I have extensive medical background in Veterinary medicine and my love for animals and all life. it gives me the opportunity to help those in need. I was attracted to caregiving when I realized that my father of 83 years old was not being cared for by my stepbrother and other home care nurses. Is when I knew I could take care of my father and make sure he was cared for in a dignifying way. Since then I've chose this passion. I recently went through a 3 hour CPR/ AED class. My personal achievement is making a promise to my father when he was in the hospital and he told me he was going to die in here. I said to my father " No dad, I will get you home" . And I did. . 3 weeks later he passed away in our home in Naples Is Long Beach dec 11, 2017. Also, caring for for Frank makes me happy to see him be happy.

I've been a caregiver for 35 yrs. I started in this field when I was just 17. I love what I do. I come from a medical family and decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a doctor or nurse. I specialize in geriatric dementia and Alzheimers care. Every client needs to know they're truly cared for on every level with love, patience, and kindness. I enjoy learning from them ... they often have amazing histories, stories and lessons to share.I'm often with my clients for the duration of their lives.

Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because of my desire to help others especially the elderly. My passion and dedication for seniors is very important to me. Nothing brings me great pleasure in assisting people that are in need of some care. My greatest achievement in life are my children. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of six. Teaching my children to respect and help others gives me the satisfaction that when in some giving time I need help, they will assist me just like I assist and care for others in the same manner. I'm not just a caregiver but a friend and if God gave me the patience, understanding and caring way to help others than I am here for that. God bless you and hope to assist anyone in need.
