About Connie

Some of the personality traits I have that contributes to being a great caregiver is that I'm compassionate , patient , understanding, loving , trustworthy, dependable and I am told that I have a beautiful sense of humor. When I was 7 my Grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, over time she developed dementia and I assisted my Mother in her care. We never wanted to put my Grandmother in a nursing home so we became her caregivers. That is where my passion for being a caregiver grew and I've been wanting to pursue it every since. ( She is currently 83 and still battling Parkinson's disease) The thing that I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is that I personally enjoy helping people and making sure people have the essentials and care they need to do the best they can in life. A personal achievement for me is being a first generation college student. I worked so hard over the years and it paid off when I was accepted into Cal State University Northridge as I am a full time student as well but my schedule is indeed flexible. I am proud of that achievement.
