About Aqualind

I became a caregiver because I am a caring and compassionate person, and as a mother and having been a caregiver to my grandmother when she was ill (she is 97 and doing well presently), and to my mother who was on hospice for 8 months, I can empathize with a family's concerns when it comes to the quality of care for their loved one(s). So I treat my clients not only like I would want my family members to be treated, but like I would like to be treated also. I may need care one day too. The elderly should always be treated with respect and dignity. I enjoy being able to help my clients maintain their independence. I'm proud of making the decision to go back to college in 2006. I graduated in 2008 with honors. It was something I was determined to do and I accomplished it. I worked and was certified as a caregiver years ago. I decided I wanted to re-new my certification after caring for my mother who passed in 2010, I'm grateful I was able to be there for her. I've always liked helping people. I am a people person and an optimist. I have worked with adults with mental and physical disabilities as well.
