About Brenda

I became a caregiver because I like the elderly and care about them. I have a lot of knowledge of nutrition and have been able to help them improve their nutrition and therefore improve their health. I have been able to help a 96 y/o lady recover from a mild stroke by improving her nutrition and using megavitamin therapy. I am a patient and considerate woman who is concerned about the elderly's well being.

    I have a special love for the elderly after taking care of my parents who lived until their 90. I am currently unemployed. However, I do need to work and I feel that I would make an excellent caregiver.

When it comes to my personality i am a very responsible, honest and patient person. I am very compassionate person towards the elderly. I love working with them, caring for them and taking care of them. I can shop for them, take them to doctor's appointments, cook for them and give them medication.
