About Guia

When I work with clients, I take note of their needs and fill those needs as the case may be from day to day; I walk the extra mile if needed. I became a caregiver accidentally but I realized that there is a need for caregivers like me who really, truly care about the clients by working with how they feel from day to day whether it is emotional, physical, and medical. My greatest accomplishment is being able to solve problems that come along the way. For instance, I worked with a stroke victim who had four bouts of pneumonia before I was hired. I devised a diaper that would absorb the urine and not wet the back of the patient. It worked and all the other nurses taking care of him followed suit during the two years I was there.

    I became I caregiver because I enjoy giving my time to people that need it and enjoy there company. The thing I like about being a caregiver is the happy reactions of my clients doing little things on a daily basis could mean a lot to them. I am proud that I went back to school and i became a CNA . A little about myself I am a mother of two girls I just graduated from school three months ago as a CNA thing of going to school as a LVN. I enjoy working in the medical field very rewarding .
