    I became a Patient Care Technician in 2012 and started caregiving in 2011 while I was still attending school. Love working one on one with seniors because being with them has molded me in the great energetic loving person I am today. I do charge 50 per hour, because I do a great job and I treat seniors as if they were my own parents. I want the best for them as well as you do . Parents have done such a good job to care for us, emotionally, physically and mentally rewarding us with such heartfelt hugs, that their most sensitive last years should be spent like kings and queens. They deserve a loving caregiver like me!
