Hello My name is Brenda Cerezo, I am 23 years old and apart from being a caregiver I am a college student that will be majoring in speech pathalogy I previously attended Sonoma State University and Now I'm Attending school in San Diego. I started caregiving with my grandmother I loved caring for her and kind of developed a different kind of compassion for the lovely seniors. Then I applied to Emeritus were I became an assisted living caregiver and completely fell in love with being able to help those that needed more care and being sure that they were getting treated right and getting the proper care they need. I also worked at a home called Our House it was a lot of hands on care, I love every single one of my residents I don't just see this as a job a see my residents as family. I currently have been working for a lady for the past 3 years privately.
