About Penny

I am a caregiver with a CNA license. I have always been content and enjoy the field that I am in. I really enjoy caring with those who have Alzheimer's/dementia, my grandma passed away from that horrible disease. After many years of experience I'm called "The saint of all angels" . I love what I do. I've always wanted to be an R.N. As the years passed I decided I wanted to take care of people. I started working in nursing homes, then hospitals, i.e. Endoscopy tech, medical secretary, transporter, I.C.U, and oncology. After that experience I started home care. I like the 1 on 1 patient care, Alzheimer's really caught my attention: I've been doing Homecare and hospice.

    Being patient,loving, caring, compassionate, and highly experienced make me a good caregiver. This is what I have been doing before I came to this country. Out of 6 siblings, I was the only one taking care of my Mom with the assistance of my daughter who is now a medical doctor and now in the university pursuing her masters degree in public health here in the U.S. I feel so much comfortable taking of people either young or old. It is my joy to contribute positively to general care of elderly people. I personally relate very well with my client and their families, that most of them treat me like members of their families. I still have contact with most of the families I have worked for. They sometimes take me out for my birthdays celebrations , some calls on my birthdays, some sends messages on my birthdays. I think this a great achievement, because if I did not do good jobs for them, they will not remember me to give me such wonderful honors.
