My name is Adriana Castillo, I'm 28 years old, and I've been working as a caregiver for the last 3 years for a company that works with people with cerebral palsy, we also work with clients with schizophrenia and down syndrome. I started working as a caregiver because I wanted to make a difference in someone else's life. When I was 11 years old my dad was diagnosed with cancer, he spent almost a year going to chemotherapy, among other treatments he was receiving, I was trying to help as much as I could and since that I always thought I'd like to be helpful the same way and make a difference in someone else's life. Whenever I'm working with my clients I put my dad's face on them and treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve. Thank you in advance for reading and hopefully you give me the chance to work with you or your loved one.
