About Felisa

I have over 15 years experience and professionally training as a Certified Nurse Assistant, Care Giver, Home Health Aide, Medication Aide/Med Tech, and Restorative Aide. I've provided active, assistance, and passive range of motion exercises to individuals whom suffered an accidental fall, victim of a stroke, undergone hip surgery and/or replacement, individuals left paralyzed from an accident, and whom have developmental disorders from birth. During my experience in skilled nursing homes, acute care/rehabilitation centers, developmental homes, assisted living with memory care units; I have acquired knowledge of various adaptive equipment (e. g. Hoyer and Arjo lift or walker, lap trays, splints, spoons, communication devices, etc.) that was necessary for assistance in daily living. While working in loving homes and nursing facilities I was trained and have great knowledge of special dietary needs or restrictions, food consistency, and certain foods that coincide with certain prescribed medications. I have given assistance and/or reminders of scheduled medication for individuals with the most common dementia Alzheimers and some types of multiple sclerosis. With a safety always first motto and reliable transportation, I can transport to and from doctor visits, therapy, school/day program, and leisure activities with my personal vehicle or individuals. In closing, helping families with their continued cared for their loved one is very rewarding to me. I have a special quote I enjoy and would like to share with you. "We love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving". I've shared my passion, heart, smile, and love of life with each and every person I've cared for (though more laughter than anything) through the years. After my nana's passing in 2002 of pancreatic cancer, I pursued personal care and assistance with daily living full time giving my all to individuals the one on one care they deserve.

I became a caregiver because of my mother, At the age of 10 my mother died and I couldn't do nothing to help her. So I decided to get in the medical field for that reason. I love being a caregiver because it is a passion of mine to see people smile, and live there life to the fullest. Some of my achievements are attending school for certification, and also I am now enrolled in school for Health Information Systems and Business Administration. I chose this field because I want to make sure the patients get the treatment, respect, and etc they deserve. I want to see people that take care of these patients act professionally, and treat the patients like the way they (caregivers) would want to be treated. Everybody tells me I have a wonderful personality, and they can tell I care about the patients needs. I like to have fun, spending time with family. I am here to help.
