About Blanca

Hello there! My name is Blanca Estrada. I'm 21 years old and am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I have been a caregiver for the past year and a half. Before that, I was a babysitter for several different families as well. I love being a caregiver because I feel like every day I'm able to make a difference in someone's life. When I'm able to help someone and bring a smile to their face, I know that I've done something right and have made a difference in that person's life. I wanted to become a caregiver because I've always had the drive to help people. To me, it's always been about helping those who need it and making sure that someone is always there for them. I also enjoy meeting new people and creating relationships with them that go far beyond just the work. I love being a caregiver and hope to continue doing this.

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.
