When I was 18 years old i worked in ag construction when i met a lady that offered me a job watching her husbands grandmother who suffered from sun downers and i have been a caregiver ever since. Being a caregiver has always come naturally to me. I have worked for private families, facilities, and agencies. Most of my experience has been working with Alzheimer/dementia patients with some experience working along side hospice care. Over the years i have revived promotions and employee of the months, but I'm particularly proud of being the only caregiver out of four to be asked back to work for a family. I am originally from Smartsville, Ca. and recently moved to Irving, TX. to be closer to family. I have AA degree in Healthcare and AS degree in Medical Assisting form Heald College. I graduated with honors and perfect attendance which I'm extremely proud of because i was going to school full time and working two jobs and it took a lot hard work and dedication.
