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.

I have been a caregiver for approximately 6 years now. I decided to become a caregiver because i believe that everyone deserves a good quality of life. I had a grandmother who lived to be 112 years of age and i took on the responsibility of caring for her. i am very compassionate about what i do and i do it to the best of my knowledge. My passion in life is to care for others, helping those who need to get better to be better and also for those who just need the companionship and making the transition easy for them. i have worked with various clients of all different age and i love what i do. I am a graduate student with a degree in psychology and planning on furthering my education. i have a 6 year old daughter and i am very family oriented. I am fully dedicated to my work and i guarantee my employers will have no regrets.
