About Mercedes

I became a caregiver because I have a passion for helping people and making them feel comfortable. I want to be someone everyone can depend on. What I like about being a caregiver is putting a smile people's face and the feeling of accomplishment knowing I've help someone. A personal achievement I am proud of is finding a passion in caring for people and that I've found a career I wake up everyday and be excited about. I am a mother of two and hope to pursue a nursing degree in the near future.
