About Rita

I the last four years I had worked with elderly and younger people who needed constant care. I became part of the families for the time being, as a live-in carer, and I experienced how sensitive and personal each situation is. I was raised by life-long carers (both my parents were certified nurses) and I lived in an environment where family life included more generations. Although I was professionally trained in a different area, my social and personal inclinations proved to be essential contributors to my performance. I discovered that I liked to help people, especially when they are at a point in life where being surrounded by compassionate and warm companions it priceless. My approach is: how would I like my mother to be taken care of, or how would I like to be treated?

I BECAME A CAREGIVER BECAUSE I ENJOY PROVIDING CARE-GIVING SERVICES TO THOSE THAT CANNOT DO FOR THEMSELVES OR NEED ASSISTANCE. ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED HELPING PEOPLE SO I KNOW I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING. BEING A CAREGIVER GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE IN PEOPLE LIVES BY HELPING THEM AND MAKING THEM BE ABLE TO TRUST YOU. I CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT I'VE HELPED SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING MY GRANDMOTHER BEFORE SHE PASSED. I SPECIFICALLY BECAME A CAREGIVER SO I CAN BE CERTIFIED AT WHAT I DO BEST.

My interest in caregiving started at an early age. Every sunday after church I would visit the sick and shut in members and others who requested prayers. I then attended a Medical Specialty High School and was involved in volunteering at local Adult Day Cares. When I was about 15 years of age my grandmother started developing Dementia and shortly after had a stroke. I became her main caregiver; cooking, cleaning, reading to her when not in school. I love the fact that I get to make a difference in someones day to day life. I tried many different ventures and always ends back into caregiving. This is what I'm meant to do and I'm good at it and enjoy doing it.
