Hello my name is Brenda. I am 30 years old, married with children. I have always had a big heart especially for caring for people. I started off by working in a daycare setting for various years in California and in Texas. I became very interested in caring for adults when I began helping my good friend that due to a accident they became fully dependent on someone else. From that moment on I loved being able to help. Whether it be cooking meals, helping with medications, bathing and toiletries. I would help in all aspects. When my first child was born I gained a lot of knowledge in the medical field. I had to since my daughter was special needs and fully depended on me to be her voice and sounding board to advocate as best as I could for her. I became very knowledgeable with many needs and how to operate different machines. From feeding tubes, injections, cpap, bipap, checking O2 stats and knowing when to use oxygen and many various other machines. I love being able to help and expand my knowledge by caring for someone that needs me to make their life a little easier. I am a quick and visual learner and I am always up to learn. I more recently began working for a vocational service, you can say I have a soft spot for helping others, where I work with adults and helping them integrate into their community via work or just being out and out of their home. I can say I fell in love with caregiving even more when life threw me a curveball and being there for someone was my passion.
