.- I started to work as a caregiver in 1993, just to make some money to go on a Peace Corps assignment. When I did this jobs, I discovered a great connection with elderly people and had wonderful experiences that made me feel real useful and a feeling of goodness, giving the best of me working to enhance their lives in any way that I could. This is why I took it as my main job and still working in it.. I am from Mexico, living now in U.S.A, I am from a city bordering with USA Tijuana. growing up in two different cultural environments i had the opportunity to learned English in my childhood, I speak my own Spanish and some italian. I have a degree as a preschool teacher (Mexico), I did some computer studies as Graphic Designer in San Diego, Ca. . I love traveling, outdoor activities, reading and be creative with my life.... I Took some Italian courses in Perugia Italy. I live for a year in Athens, Greece. Then, did some volunteering jobs with children in Argentina and Ecuador . I enjoy life and like to share it with my patients.... so, more or less this is me! Hope to hear from you and the best of the luck in your search.... Dora
