About Penelope

It is in my nature to be a caregiver and I am very satisfied with the career I choose when I was 10 years old. I communicate well with people from many cultures having lived in Hawaii since 1973. I enjoy seeing my patients and families get benefit from our time together, teaching them, relieving stress and pain, plus finding humor that we can share. I like listening to life stories, making seniors, especially, still feel valued. Most proud personal achievement: I retired early from Leahi to care for my mother during her last several years. We had happy times despite her illness.

My part time caregiver job for many years has brough me great joy even after I graduated in English major in University of hawaii at manoa. Those I cared for and care love me and miss me for I truly become their freind, for I love caregiver job and love people. CLients mostly feel happy if they habitually wear a sad face due to their ailment or feel calm and confident if their personalities are prone to be irritated or impulsively self attack. Our physical condition is the sum of our choice of thought and action in every situation of the day. The science of human body I am learning from books and caregiver job provides vivivd circumstances first hand information between the two parties, how to deepen the bond no matter what physical ailment or mental darkness exists. Care giving is from my heart , I am awarded with love, experience subtle emotion development and see people get better because of me more than in any other jobs, so I am still a fun and cordiual caregiver.

I care! I've been a caregiver since 99' when I cared for my grandparents, then my parents. I'm a firm believer of that saying,\" do unto others as you want others to do unto you.\" Being a caregiver you need to have a heart, passion, patience, and understanding. I'm a family oriented person that was raised old school style and church. I'm a 50 yr old Polynesian woman with heart.
