About Andrea

I'm a great caregiver because I enjoy what I do. I love helping and taking care of others. I'm detailed oriented, cooperative and compassionate. I'm assertive and willing to advocate for my clients to ensure they get the care they need. I've been in this field since 2014 I grew up helping my aunt with daily living task such as ironing her clothes, preparing her medication, fixing her lunch and checking her sugar. Same for my dad medication reminders, ironing his clothes, fixing his lunch/dinner and this is what attracted me to being a caregiver. I enjoy seeing my clients happy and trusting that I will do the job I was hired for. I also enjoy making those connections with my clients and their families it really feel good when they know they're in good hands and I'm there to help not harm them. It's a rewarding field and you meet some wonderful people and build meaningful memories and I think that's what matter the most.
