About Una

1. I became a Caregiver so that I can give people the help I would love to receive, if I was in their position. 2. The look of happiness and comfort on the faces of my patients, when I give them the care they need; is what I like the most about being a Caregiver. 3. My greatest achievement over the past 20 yrs, is the comfort and joy that I have been able to give to patients and their families. 4. I'm very considerate of others and pay close attention to their wants and needs.
