About Rachel

My grandparents have always been an integral part of my life. It was their wish that they remain in their own home and independent for as long as possible. There were times that they just needed a little extra help. Help bathing and getting dressed, errand running, meal preparation or perhaps they needed a medication reminder. At times they just felt better knowing a loved one was coming for a visit. Like a staircase my steps have always been ordered by my faith and my family. The care and keeping of my grandparents became my joy, as well as one of my most profound privileges, and dictated my experience going on to spend another 8 years in the geriatric field. I'd love to be apart of proving you and/or your loved ones with the care they need.

I was a Librarian back in the Philippines but when I came to the US in 2006, my friend encouraged me to try working with the elderly as a caregiver. Since then, I have been working as a caregiver and I developed the love and passion in taking care of the elderly. I have experience in taking care.of elderly with different health issues such as Alzheimers, Dementia, diabetis, heart diseases (ie. CHF), Lung or respiratory disease, stroke, cancer, hospice, etc. I assist my residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, etc.. I also do meal preparation , laundry, light housekeeping and medication reminder. I can also assist my Residents with their errands and bring them to their doctor's appointments. I am not only a caregiver to to my Residents but I am also a companion, a friend, a confidant whom they could trust and depend on. I am a responsible person,, loyal and reliable. I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives. My nationality is Filipino and we are known to be the best in caregiving, especially to the elderly.
