About Barbara

It is very rewarding to love and help care for others. Everyone needs compassion and companionship. Especially the elderly. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. The personal achievement I am most proud of is being part of a growing ministry where I was taught so many values like doing everything with excellence. I also had the honor of directing an all ladies choir where we went to different churches and sang songs and give testimonies. I am mature, responsible, caring, patient, easy to get along with and love to do my job well.

    I became a caregiver because I want to make a difference in someone's life. I am very caring and compassionate. I strive to always improve and push farther. I am dedicated and treat each patient like they were my own parent and quickly become a family favorite.

    I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that I take care of all my patients as if they were my own family and make sure they are comfortable and most importantly I listen to their needs. I first became interested in health care when my mother was ill and needed care herself and realized that I had a real passion for helping others. I enjoy knowing that the family can be at ease knowing I'm there taking care of their loved ones. At Long Beach Memorial I was know as the "sitter whisper" because whenever they had a difficult patient they would alway assign me that patient and by the end of the day the patient would no longer require restraints or was completely compliant and friendly. They always ask what was my secret and I would say I simply listen to what their needs are.
