About LaTrease

I started working as a caregiver in 2013 for grandmother until she passed away in 2019. My grandma use to always tell me I was good at taking care of people and I like helping people maintain their independence while still living in their own home. My personal achievement I am proud of is taking the step to enroll myself in nursing school. I have also worked for two nursing facilities in walnut creek where I took care of elderly adults with developmental disabilities.

I became a caregiver because I love to help people and I have the right personality for it. I'm very patient and dependable. I've been a caregiver for about 10 years although I do not plan to do this as a career I do enjoy being able to help others, and comfort those who need comforting.
