About Pepetua

Being a caregiver has given me opportunities to learn about the elderly and grow friendships that I will forever cherish in my lifetime. I love helping people the best way I know how and I love treating all of my patients like my own family. I go about taking care of them like I would take care of my own parents. One of my proudest achievements to date has been overcoming health issues with my current employer. When I first started taking care of her, she showed major signs of depression, anxiety and mood swings but today, I feel like we are happy together and I think we owe that to our daily exercises and activities that promite happiness.

I am a 61 year old lady and an older mom with a daughter (16 yrs) and son (23 yrs). I've been doing caregiving for over 20 years. For the last 2 1/2 years, I worked with clients with Alzheimer's and I feel very comfortable in working getting their needs met, while helping them feel safe and reducing anxiety. With becoming a caregiver, I had just finished my first semester of R.N. school when my mom and first husband both died of cancer (25 days apart) and I was needed to care for my father as his grieving made him unable to care for himself. I then, to assist me with my own grief, started to help care for others, first with hospice, then went on to caregiving for people in their homes. I love caregiving because helping people (especially older folks) brings joy and comfort to me. The trust that clients and families give to me is humbling and rewarding. Again, working with clients who have Alzheimer's takes a special place in my heart, but I love helping anyone in need. If you will try me out as a caregiver for yourself (or loved one), you will be happy and very satisfied. I have letters of reference and am happy to work with you....rest assured everything you wish/need accomplished will be done in a timely, professional and loving way.

Hello, my name is Pilimilose Toki but I go by Rose and I have been a caregiver for 20+ years. I am patient, empathetic and very enthusiastic in any work environment that I am placed in. These traits are what I believe make me an excellent caregiver. What attracted me to this field of work is being able to help those in need. Before my mother's passing, I took care of her for many years and it brings me joy to be able to do the same for others families. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to put a smile on my patients faces and helping them to feel comfortable, despite their current condition. A personal achievement that I am proud of would be the excellent references I have and good relationships I have built with not only my patients but with their families as well.
