About Elizabeth

As a young woman I worked in an orphanage in Honduras. The children had severe disabilities. The pay was low, but I felt so happy. It was the children who gave to me. After coming to the Unites States, I remembered how I felt giving care to others. I worked at manufacturing jobs until I earned my CNA. The proudest personal achievement is my family. But for the rest of my life I will always work for people in need and who need me. Housing question below: Live in no more than 3 days per week, my husband sacrifices much to support me in my quest to help others. I grew up in poverty in Honduras and supported myself from the time I was 14 years old. After Hurricane Mitch destroyed Honduras in 1998 I migrated to the USA on a TPS. I have 4 children born in Honduras, and 6 grandchildren born here. I have my own Christian Life, it is non-denominational. I like to think independently. I know that some clients can be very difficult, but I accept that and take it as a challenge to improve their disposition. I like to be kind but I am firm as well. I have given care to people from 1 year old to 90 years old. I am also very strong. I have also worked often with IHSS.

Even as a teenager, I had a special affinity for the elderly and still enjoy serving/helping them, talking with them, and learning about their life experiences. I have a B.S. in Nursing and M.A. in Humanistic Psychology. Both of these disciplines require excellent observation skills which I use continuously to assess the mental and physical status of the people I care for. I enjoy working in situations where family is caring and involved and in which communication with family is encouraged. I am an active, healthy 72-year-old widow, mother of an adult son and daughter, and enjoy clogging, crocheting, reading, beading, volunteering and playing classical piano. My experiences as a nurse and mother, and years working with developmentally disabled adults have prepared me for working with those who need care-giving services. But, most importantly, I have a protective heart for the elderly.
