Cheryll L.

I'm a mother of 5 and grandmother to 10. I've worked as a caregiver for the last 15+ years and counting. I love my clients and working with the elderly. What started out as a job became second nature and probably alot of that has to do with my cultural background. I loved it so much, I paid for my own training and certifications to be an independent caregiver. I got bonded, insured and registered with the state and I have several great references from the loving families of those whom I have cared for over the years. I've had great experiences with those who I have worked for and with, along with learning from wonderful nurses and doctors that I've interacted with during the care of many of my clients. I am very proud of the achievements I've made in taking the initiative to learn as I go with each client, and each client came with various conditions and ailments, and some with multiple conditions. It has been a great journey of growth and connection for me like no other and I find it so fulfilling to be able to help our elderly population in need. They have been all like family.

I was a surgical nurse back home in the Philippines for 12 years and I really love doing care for an individual since I oath to preserve and save lives, I became a caregiver since I got here in United States because my mother inspires me to do the job because she's a caregiver too for more than a decade now. I am currently working as a care manager at Sunrise Senior Living,it had made me equipped, well-skilled and well-rounded caregiver in terms of giving care to a group of residents who's having different kinds of behaviors. And also,I used to care for my grandmother who has dementia when she was still living before for almost 10 years. Doing this kind of job and caring for elderly people gives me a certain fulfillment while preserving their dignity and pride despite of their memory impairment and I see to it that every time I do care for seniors I always work with my heart.
