About Brenda

Hi, you have a loving, caring, gentle, and compassionate c.n.a/ care taker here. I became a c.n.a/care taker because I love helping and taking care of people. I also have two mentally handicapped teenagers that I chose to stay home with and take care of to make sure they received all the attention they needed growing up. I also was a child growing up with a disability due to a birth injury I received while being born so I and my mom also had to rely on other people for help to get me through the day so I know the importance of home health care. I'm dependable and reliable. I worked at a group home for the mentally handicapped for 6 yrs and I have been a c.n.a /care taker for 10yrs. I love my job and very proud of the work i do and the service that I provide. There's nothing like having someone you can trust with your loved one that you know is going to treat them with dignity and respect as well as being a friend and companion to them. My mother always said never judge a book by its cover. And that saying is so true sometimes with care takers. Dont judge someone by there looks but by the qualifications they have and the care they provide to your loved ones. Thanks!

I am a friendly licensed caregiver. I believe in serving my clients with professionalism and tender loving care (tlc). I have strong healthcare communication skills and work well independently or with a team. I embrace helping individuals to live productively and comfoartably in their own home or other residences. I have many years of experience in assisting physically and mentally challenged individuals with personal care, companionship and all. activities for daily living (bathing, dressing, homemaking, transportation to appointments, etc.) I have been working with the elderly, young adults and children for over 15 years, and have an excellent track record in assisting clients in non-medical and healthcare settings; I am sensitive to their concerns and needs. I generally work in Hillsborough and Polk counties but may be available to work in other florida counties or travel out of state with a client.
