About Priscilla

I have always loved helping people since I was a young child. As I got into my later teenage years I started taking care of my great grandparents and that when I knew I had a huge passion for caring for others who can no longer care for themselves. I've always looked at it as when we're young our parents and grandparents help take care of us , so we should do the same and take care of them when they need us the most. Some people don't have family around to do those things and that's where I come in and fill that spot as best as possible. One of my biggest achievements was with an old client; when I first started working for her she was just released from the hospital. She just had surgery on her foot and wasn't allowed to apply pressure and she would get so upset because she was used to doing things for herself, when she came home she was so weak and could barely stand to get out of her wheelchair. I had the next day off and when i came back on the third day she was home she had a little bit more strength ( HAPPY MOMENT!!!) , by the end of the week she was able to get up and out of her wheelchair and in her bed or chair by herself( of course i was right there next to her). I loved seeing how excited she would get from being able to somewhat do things on her own.

Hello, I am a College Student, and my major is in Biology/Nursing. I always had the passion to help others and volunteered a lot growing up in the medical field. My Mom is a Cardiologist at Ben Taub Hospital. My passion is to help others of a sense of personal understanding and connection is vital. I understand elders that may feel vulnerable, scared, confused and uncomfortable, and being able to identify and allay these fears can create a sense of calm and trust for those being cared for. I have the patience and can provide high-quality care services. I am always on time and very dependable, and always have a personal attachment when caregiving. I have experience in administering medicine, and all medical equipment. My work experience came from Ben Taub Hospital, which is the best teaching hospital in Houston! I am very trustworthy and a happy person. My future goal is to become a great nurse and help change lives.
