My philosophy is that every single client deserves to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I am a dedicated professional who has the desire to give loving one on one care to the client. I have been a registered nurse for 22 years. I have worked at a variety of nursing jobs during this time. For the last 7 years I have been taking care of my elderly father-in -law, who recently passed at the age of 94. I truly cherished my time as his caregiver.

I am confident that I can communicate and gain rapport with the client and their family members. I am a good listener, very responsible, and dependable.

$30.00/hour · Sylmar, CA
Besides experience and knowledge I acquired from nursing school, helping others has always been my passion. I find joy and fulfillment knowing I make a difference in someone else's life. I am patient and willing to adjust to the needs of my clients. I try to put myself in their shoes, to try and understand them. I treat my patients with love and respect, and with dignity, just like how I would want to be treated if I was in their same situation. Since I was a young age, I have always been interested in helping other people. I enjoy helping others who have trouble helping themselves especially the elderly. I completed my vocational nursing studies in 2012 and it was at that point I realised that helping people is my calling. I love that being a caregiver, you can make a difference. It's a rewarding experience providing care and assistance to those who are no longer able to do so and to know that I have done my job right when I see smiles on their faces. The moments that make me most proud of as a care giver is when I see my patients doing well, seeing their happy faces.
