About Virginia

In the beginning it was the basic needs twice a week, & I could continue to work full-time. When mom had surgery, she needed wound care, feedings etc. At this time I was in between jobs, my mother was diagnosed with cancer & dementia, needed 24/7 care but she has always wanted to be with family, she was Japanese & felt more comfortable at home. Knowing I can help make somebody else be happier & especially elderly people. The personal achievement I am most proud of is knowing I can make a difference in the quality of an elderly persons life. I was born in Mesowa, Japan, my father was in the Air Force. My parents divorced here in Colorado Springs, my father raised my sister & I in Oklahoma, & I went on to college for a year at Phillips University while working at St Mary's Hospital in Oklahoma. I moved back to Colorado to be closer to my mother after having my first daughter, I've lived in Colorado Springs for almost 36 years. I have two daughters, 1 son, 8 grandchildren. I've been separated for 8 years. I can sew, do crafts occasionally, like gardening, getting my hands dirty, I enjoy hiking & outdoors, like listening to music & traveling, occasionally watch football, & basketball. I enjoy going to church and I pray. I am honest, peaceful loving person, strong willed. This is me. I hope you will consider me. Thank you very much.

    I have over 5 years caregiver experience. I love helping others who are unable to do thing's on their own. I continued to do caregiving because of my grandfather o took care of for 3 year's back in 2010. Once he passed away i just felt i could do more by helping others that need help or just need someone to talk to. I am proud that i have made a difference in other people's lives.

    I am Patient, very compassionate, detail oriented, and loving. My granny also known as my best friend had became very ill around 2013/2014 and my mother worked a full time job, she didn't have anyone to help her take care of my granny so I told my mother that I would provide for her. I took care of her day in and day out, I enjoyed bonding with her and getting to know and understand her interest. It allowed me to care for someone else aside from myself and build a remarkable bond. That experience encouraged my choice in major for college. I chose to go to school for nursing minoring in CNA and for Pre-Med to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. It is my passion to help others regardless of their circumstances.
