About Therese

I am a young woman who believes strongly in the dignity of the human person, no matter what their condition. I have had personal experience growing up with people with disabilities (Down Syndrome, Autism, and Schizophrenia) and have come to recognize the beauty and dignity of people who live with such difficulties. I believe strongly that all people deserve the best possible care, not just for their physical needs, but for their entire person. These beliefs, combined with an excellent work-ethic and a compassionate and patient personality have led me to look for a career in caregiving through which I hope to help improve the lives of others by providing the best care possible.

I believe that I'm a great caregiver because I take pride in my work and I treat my clients as I would want my family treated. I know that it's about more than just providing care to the client, but also peace of mind to the clients family members, especially those who were or are the primary caregivers themselves. I understand that working together as a team with the family is important, but knowing when and how to manage a situation is equally as important. I love my work and making sure that my clients have the highest obtainable quality of life is important to me.
