About Emilia

* Five years of experience in babysitting my Nieces and family friend's kids without pay. * I am caring and altruistic. As an orphan who had to babysit her dying mother, I know what it takes to care for another person's parent whom they love and cherish so much. * What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the fact that I can provide the care that persons need, make them smile, get them involve in little discussions to distract them from focusing on their conditions, and most importantly, establish a positive relationship with patients. * I am known for taking pride in quality performance, reliability, and professionalism. * I am very meticulous and committed to providing high-quality care to patients. * As a hard worker and dedicated individual, I am proud of my educational achievements. * I am also an amazing cook

Although I have always had a natural ability to help others, I became interested in caregiving and the healthcare field after taking care of my uncle who had cancer. I understood the importance in providing quality care for those in need. As a certified CNA, being passionate in what I do, responsible, empathetic, and self-less are the qualities I am proud to carry. An accomplishment I am proud of is going back to school to pursue nursing and maintaining a high GPA.

I enjoy helping people and once my grandmother and parents needed assistance with aging my career shifted from teaching to caregiving. I enjoy getting to know people and learning about them, while caring for them. I am proud of raising my family and completing school. I have traveled all over the United States and the world, and I enjoy reading.
