    Is my belief that EMPATHY is the #1 core characteristic I have because I totally can put myself in the place of who I am caring for. I am a dependable and reliable caregiver. I have 2 years of experience on dementia patient. I am able to communicate effectively and make my client feel respected. I like to think of ways to ease tense moments when client is resistant to care. Responsibility and punctuality identify me. A plus is SPANISH as a native language. I want to make a difference in the lives of those in my care.

    I know what it is to have somebody come in and take care of a love one, my mother got sick and had to hire a caregiver until I moved back out here to take care of her. I treat others as if they were my love ones. I'm honest,respectful,loving, and compassionate. I'm always on time for work and most of all I love what I do!
