About Marlen

I became a caregiver because I'm a compassionate person, I love taking care of people especially elderly people. What I like about being a caregiver is the joy it brings to my heart, the connection i make with each person, and knowing they have someone who cares and wants to help. An achievement I am proud of is knowing I was able to help someone in need. Also I have been working in caregiver for more than nine years. I'm married and I have five children. The reason I wanted to be a caregiver is because of my grandmother. She lived with me while she was sick and diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite this unfortunate disease, I felt it was time to give back for all her years of care and dedication of love towards me. She planted the seed of compassion, love and respect for others in my heart. I give thanks for being able to take care of her during her last few days. After she passes away I am devoted to prepare myself professionally to help others.

One of the reason I am a nurse assistant is because I love working with people with any kind of limitation, I like to give the best of me by making them feel that they are not alone.

I'm a very patient person and I sympathize with the person in pain, because everything ive going through. I like to work with the elderly because it makes me feel that im not just making money but also that I'm doing something good as a human being. you never stop learning with them. they're full of wisdom. I also have learn and get so much experience working with patients all this years specially with cases of alzhimers and dementia. I worked for Brookdale that is a very good and big home assistant living. I worked in the area of patients with dementia. but i love the experience i had in the past working one to one. i think i can give the best of me to that one person that needs me with him/her. i worked 2 years with a person that was in a lot of pain and I took a good care of him. I stay with him until his last breath. that was the best time I had as a caregiver because we gave each other a lot of our best.
