I decided to become a caregiver because I love to interact with people, specially with the senior citizens. I believe their life experiences teach more than many books and the hands on with human care will also add up to my future as I have a goal to pursue a medical career. I am particularly proud of engaging in this new professional journey after working in the restaurant business in NYC for 10 years. I feel that now I am pursuing something that I will truly enjoy doing. I wam a 28 year old male born and raised in Brazil. I have been living in the USA for 10 years and I recently moved to south Florida from NYC. I came here in search of a complete life change and one of the items on my checklist is to dedicate my time to learn more about people, in particular the seniors so I decided to start working with them as i get through school. I love to cook and read, to go to the beach, to garden and I am an animal lover. I take my faith very seriously and I enjoy to try dishes from places I have never been before.
