About Ofelia

I became a caregiver because this was the first job available for me in the US ,which I am capable of doing since I took care of my father with Alzheimers for two years. What I like about being a caregiver is the fulfillment of being able to reach out and assist elderly people in need, like my father. If I make them smile , I feel good. If the client's family is happy with how I work I feel good too. For me, saving one client from choking is an achievement. I was able to apply the Heimlich maneuver I learned from First Aid. During my nine years of being a caregiver I have handled a number of life saving 911 calls for emergencies like seizures, bleeding and sob cases . I have been a caregiver for 9 years now. I am a cerified RCFE administrator for 6 beds. I have a daughter who is going to college soon so I need a better paying job to help her with her studies.
