About Lucy

It is with great enthusiasm that I seek to be part of a caregiving team. I have been a registered nurse for 20 years; Most of that time has been spent serving students ages 4-18 years old in a school-based setting. Among my many roles is working with medically fragile children, providing for their specialized healthcare procedures during the course of the school day. I have been privileged to work with children from all racial and socioeconomic groups, advocating to ensure that they receive the proper resources, supports, and accommodations. I believe that I am a viable candidate because of my dedication, compassion, and hard work ethic. I am particularly proud to have received the "Golden Apple Award" in 2016 from Long Beach Unified School District in recognition of the work that I do as a nurse on behalf of the students. Though my work experience has primarily been with school-aged children, I am open to working with patients of all ages.

I became a caregiver because I want to make a difference in someone's life. I am very caring and compassionate. I strive to always improve and push farther. I am dedicated and treat each patient like they were my own parent and quickly become a family favorite.

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that I take care of all my patients as if they were my own family and make sure they are comfortable and most importantly I listen to their needs. I first became interested in health care when my mother was ill and needed care herself and realized that I had a real passion for helping others. I enjoy knowing that the family can be at ease knowing I'm there taking care of their loved ones. At Long Beach Memorial I was know as the "sitter whisper" because whenever they had a difficult patient they would alway assign me that patient and by the end of the day the patient would no longer require restraints or was completely compliant and friendly. They always ask what was my secret and I would say I simply listen to what their needs are.
