I believe I am a good caregiver because I truly care for my clients. Their well being is the up most important thing at that time! I'm reliable, trustworthy ,and want to come and care for you and your family!

I grew up in an extended family in the Philippines where we care for our elders as customary. I am very caring, responsible, hard working, careful & have a happy personality that my clients enjoyed. I used to teach school and good with kids but my passion is really for the elders. It is a very rewarding feeling at the end of the day when I know that I gave my very best to help to my client. I love to cook/prep meal, travel, run errands, and do fun things with my client. I will be a good companion & very dependable around my clients.

I am a compassionate person by nature. I've never met a person I didn't like. I treat everyone as I'd treat my own family and posses a certain understanding of the aging process that most caregivers lack. I genuinely care for every client I have and it's shows in my work.

I have been working overnights for over a year at a group home with patients with dementia, schizophrenia, autism and cerebral palsy. I would love to continue my expertise in your home helping you care for your loved ones in a safe and friendly environment. Every person, no matter their cognitive or physical ability, deserve the same compassion and respect that every abled body person dose. I enjoy talking with my patients and getting to know them as I care for their needs. I have had clients that were more difficult than others but I can see past those flaws and care for the human inside. Even if they are screaming and throwing things at you or defecated on the floor they are still a human being who needs help and compassion.

I have taken care of both my grandmother and grandpa for years, this requires cleaning organizing their day to day life's minor medical care and also medicine reminder and being responsible for retrieving refills. My grandfather having diabetes and for a time prostate cancer and my grandmother currently having Dementia. Normalizing their day to day lives is top priority.

What makes me a great caregiver is I treat your loved ones like they're my own. I can assist with everything from bathing and grooming to transportation. I can also just be someone they can talk to and visit with. I have experience with dementia and Alzheimer's patients, children with disabilities, and ostomy care.

I became a caregiver in 2004 because I'd spent the last few years of my grandmother's life helping her while she suffered with Alzheimers. I saw how important it was for them to have someone there to help them with the day to day when family couldn't be. Then after I got into the profession my love for helping others just grew. To see the joy it brings to the person to sometimes just have someone there for a companion. I work full time at Rusk State Hospital working closely with clients on Therapeutic Rehabilitation. I went back to part time home health again in July 2021 and am so thankful that I did. In the last 4 years I've worked with some of the absolute most wonderful families. One client even always told his wife, "I'm sure glad she's coming today because I miss her, she's a sweet little girl". I feel such a connection with my clients that to me, they aren't just clients, they are family! I go above and beyond during my visits, I dont just cook and clean. I help out with things from small art projects to flower gardening with my clients, whatever makes them smile that day is what they needed. I am currently on my CPR and Basic Life Support Certification as well.

I enjoy helping people & making them feel better about their self. I also like to clean & cook. I worked in a nursing home for 12 years or so as a Activity Director, but so much more I did inside & out of the nursing home as well, I love being around the people!

For one i like to help anyone in need. When you listen to them you learn alot about life. Like to touch someones"life.
