About Lucina

I start working as a caregiver/private nurse when my kids were in grade school because the hours are flexible, I enjoyed working with the elderly in their homes, hospitals, SNF. I did it for over 10 years, The flexibility of the hours doing this work, works well while raising my kids at early age and at the same time help a lot of elderly and their families during the last part of their love one's life. I was able to help them live with dignity and enjoy the last part of their life. After over 10 yrs of doing this I went back to school at age of 50 and get my LVN license for a change and work at drug, alcohol and dual diagnosis rehab center here in the desert. Now, that I am close to retirement I want to go back and do the same thing again as I did until my retirement age. I am reliable, efficient, competent, have empathy to the client, respect of different cultures,
