About Zelina

My mother was a caregiver and she used to take me with her on weekends as a young child, I was taught this skill, so I've always had great compassion for the elderly and disabled alike. Mom passed away June of 2022, from Dementia. She lived to be 101 years old. I cared for her daily even in Hospice. I've made caregiving my career. I have facility and private duty care experience as well. I've been in this field now off and on for more than 25 years. I attend to my clients as if they're family and treat them as I'd like to be treated. I'd prefer a live in position, however I'm open to an hourly option of 4 hours or more daily. I am friendly, compassionate, respectful and prompt. I'm an excellent companion as well. I'm experience in various fields such as Alzheimer's, Dementia, and Bed Bound individuals. I'm fully vaccinated and an excellent choice to care for your loved one. Best Regards, Zelina

One of the reasons that makes me who I am as a caregiver is the compassion that I have in my heart for my clients and their families. I am a person of integrity, honesty, dependability and concern. It's about giving of myself to my clients and having a sense of the quality of life concerning the lifestyle they have. When I come into their presence a smile comes on their face. I will show the passion, give the encouragement, and hope they will have the confidence that I will know exactly what to do concerning their plan of care. I became a caregiver because of my mother's influence. Listening to her talk about her clients was interesting and heart warming and sometimes I felt sad and wanted to help, so I did! The rewards of being a caregiver is caring for those who cannot care for themselves or just needing a little help. Always understanding what care consists of at all times regardless of the situations and circumstances whether it's to assist or just HELP. I love what I do as a caregiver because I have a compassionate heart.
