About Martina

I can recall being fourteen and my mother's neighbor ( a kind elderly lady) asked my mom if I could come help her. I did and I loved it. The look and words of appreciation for my work was an awesome feeling. I've been working as a caregiver giver since then. I've worked in other fields, but I like working as a caregiver the most. I worked for a homecare agency and felt proud when a resident would call the agency and give a good report about me. I am hardworking, kind, honest, reliable and a good listener.

    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.
