Martina G.

I have over 15 years of experience providing care for my loved ones as-well-as others in need of care. My husband & 21 year old son lost their battles against cancer within 6 years apart. I found that caring for them without any assistance was a great challenge that I conquered alone. I gained a vast amount of knowledge & experience regarding both colon cancer & osteosarcoma of which my guys suffered, dealing with chemotherapy & surgeries. Even though they lost their battles, I found that a part of me has become more loving & understanding of human sufferage than ever before. I am blessed to be strong & I am appreciative of having good health, & look forward to helping others in need of care and companionship. I am both patient and loving, having been through such devastating experiences with my own loved ones, and I know how it feels to be in such a vulnerable position. I have dedicated myself to assisting people in need of care, and l love what I do. I have been working in this field since 2010 and was hired by Rescare soon after my husband passed in 2016. I feel I have something to "give back", and I will be happy to do so by assisting your loved one's in need of loving and respectful care. It will be my pleasure to assist your family with the best of my training and experience. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, Fire & Safety & have taken a Altzheimer/Dementia training course. I am registered with the CA State Registery for Care Givers & Certified. I have taken & passed numerous Care Giver classes including: HIPPA, Senior Care assistance in all aspects of care, and have passed in depth Finger Print screening. Also, I have broviach catather & colostomy care experience & training via Kaiser Permanente, Children's, and Emmanuel Memorial hospitals by professionals. I have great communication skills, a wonderful personality, and I would be delightfully appreciative to assist you and your loved one.

I Am a very honest fun loving Caring Lady, I enjoy putting that smile on everyone's face, I have always been very interested in learning all about my patients life and experiences I find it to be very fascinating, I went into the nursing field because I love caring for the elderly. I enjoy most about being a caregiver when I see the smile on my patients face as I walk into the door, I love talking about their life and their family history, the patient is the most important. My personal achievement was when I was caring for a gentleman in San Jose he had just had a major back surgery they glued his nerves together so he was pretty much paralyzed when i started caring for him, the doctors told him that he would not walk again, well I was with him for almost a year in a half I did physcial therapy with him every single day we went on walks etc.. I am very proud to say this gentleman is walking, dancing and driving he is now 82 years of age..
