About Norene

For one thing, I am very excited about working and always wanted to be a part of an organization that has wholeheartedly been serving the elderly. I love caring and helping people, and have spent years actively participating and volunteering in many care giving programs. It gives me immense satisfaction, as I truly love caring for people. I am compassionate and patient by nature. As far as my qualifications are concerned, I would be a good fit based on my past experiences and skills. I have an impressive background and also have knowledge of various first aid and health care techniques, and spent years in doing what I like to do best - take care of seniors, and the elderly!

Hello my name is Luseane but I go by Lucy when i'm working. I am a single mother and I have been caregiver for over 30 years now. I came to the United States, started a family and have been in this field to provide for them. Caregiving began as just a job and turned into something more, Its a career that I really enjoy. I love taking care of my clients and treating them with respect and love as if they were my own family. I believe I am a great caregiver because I have what it takes all around to give great care. I can cook, i'm neat and organized. I believe I genuinely make my clients feel important and care for them as I would my own father/mother or grand parents. Also I enjoy playing the guitar and singing for my clients. I believe that loving what I do only brings a sense of joy to my clients every day. It is important that everyone young and old deserves to be taken care of to the best of my abilities. If I happen to come across something new that I know little about, believe me I will do my best to educate myself and give the best service that I can possibly give.

I am a fun and loving person with lots of room for growing and learning. I have over fifteen years of experience in this field and til this day enjoy my job as a caregiver, with specialized experience in working with people who have diabetes, Alzheimera, Dementia, and Parkinsons. I have a great respect for those who have limited mobility and show compassion for each and everyone of my clients by giving them the right to privacy and dignity. Working in this field has taught me a lot about patience which is something that is very much required with any job; the last thing any family should worry about is the safety and comfort of a loved one being in the care of a complete stranger. With my positive background and excellent references you should have no problems finding trust in me, and I have confidence that I can deliver the services that most will find difficulties in. With that being said, I hope to one day meet you and be that helping hand you seek.
