I care about elders and their rights of dignity, privacy, feeling and quality of life. I like to work as a caregiver because we will all be old one day and I want to know how to handle myself when the day arrives. I would like to provide the best personal care with well nutrition meal and leading the elders to a healthy life style and and to achieve that goal eventually. I am very easygoing, my schedule is flexible and pay rate can be negotiated.
