About Jennifer

I became a caregiver because of my grandmother who passed away 5 years ago. I enjoy helping others who are in need of help, especially the elderly. My personal achievement was when I saved the life of my client when she was choking on a piece of almond. I was scared for her life, but I managed to keep calm and help her out. I've been in the caregiver field for about 7 years now. I was a PCP (personal care provider) but im currently working for Alta Home Care now. I've been with them for a lil over 6 months.

    I've been a caregiver for 35 yrs. I started in this field when I was just 17. I love what I do. I come from a medical family and decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a doctor or nurse. I specialize in geriatric dementia and Alzheimers care. Every client needs to know they're truly cared for on every level with love, patience, and kindness. I enjoy learning from them ... they often have amazing histories, stories and lessons to share.I'm often with my clients for the duration of their lives.

    Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because of my desire to help others especially the elderly. My passion and dedication for seniors is very important to me. Nothing brings me great pleasure in assisting people that are in need of some care. My greatest achievement in life are my children. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of six. Teaching my children to respect and help others gives me the satisfaction that when in some giving time I need help, they will assist me just like I assist and care for others in the same manner. I'm not just a caregiver but a friend and if God gave me the patience, understanding and caring way to help others than I am here for that. God bless you and hope to assist anyone in need.
