Hello my name is Luseane but I go by Lucy when i'm working. I am a single mother and I have been caregiver for over 30 years now. I came to the United States, started a family and have been in this field to provide for them. Caregiving began as just a job and turned into something more, Its a career that I really enjoy. I love taking care of my clients and treating them with respect and love as if they were my own family. I believe I am a great caregiver because I have what it takes all around to give great care. I can cook, i'm neat and organized. I believe I genuinely make my clients feel important and care for them as I would my own father/mother or grand parents. Also I enjoy playing the guitar and singing for my clients. I believe that loving what I do only brings a sense of joy to my clients every day. It is important that everyone young and old deserves to be taken care of to the best of my abilities. If I happen to come across something new that I know little about, believe me I will do my best to educate myself and give the best service that I can possibly give.

I am a health care aid with 12 year experience as a caregiver. I have worked with dementia patients as well as patients with other mental and physical disabilities. Very caring and compassionate with others. I am understanding of patient's needs and willing to do whatever it takes to make them as comfortable as possible. I myself had the experience of difficult situations and my goal is to satisfy patient's needs. I am currently enrolled in school to get into the nursing field. I love the medical field and am always willing to learn more. I understand and have empathy for family members as well as patients as this can be a difficult time for both.
