About Leandra

If you were to ask any of my family members or friends to describe me in 3 words they would be, compassionate, nurturing and caring. I myself can see where this to be true. I am a junior at University of North Florida studying Long Term Care, and plan to continue my education to receive my Bachelors in Nursing concentrating in Gerontology . I always knew I had a passion for the elderly, even as a little girl. I have always treasured my relationships with my grandparents. 7 years ago, my grandma was diagnosed with Cancer, I spent countless hours spending time with her, taking her to appointments, grocery shopping, house keeping, staying with her in hospitals, taking her shopping, etc. 4 years ago, I lost her, and since then I've had a calling to care for seniors, and provide them with the care and companionship they need. A personal achievement I am proud of is being an ambassador for the United States as a Foreign Exchange Student for Rotary International, to be accepted requires an intense application process, as well as a panel interview, as it is very competitive. After being selected out of 100 applicants, to be 1 of the 20 students studying abroad in 2013, I spent 9 months in Spain, learning the culture, language and meeting amazing people. With this achievement, it proves my perseverance and dedication to shoot for the stars at all times.

I'm a highly-dependable woman, nurturing caregiver with a compassionate nature and 4+ years' experience in providing prompt and friendly care to elderly clients. Fully bilingual, patient, and professional in responding to client needs, with a gentle and caring touch, and gentle attitude. A warm-hearted individual who gives comfort performs personal care activities in a compassionate and friendly manner that maximizes independence and dignity in a home environment. I'm eager to bring a difference in the client's everyday life After my mother's stroke which affected her speech and mobility, we neede to place her in a nursing facility that provided 24/7 care. During those years that she live there, I was completely involved in her daily care. When she passed away, I realize that it was definitely something that I wanted to continue doing, although since I was young I used to take care of her every time she was hospitalized, and also for other members of the family. I enjoy being able to help others, to provide comfort, company, be useful to someone that needs support and some help on getting their meals prepared, their laundry done or beds change or even help while they are getting dress. Being capable to do that to others with the same love and dedication that I did it for my mother is something that makes me feel accomplished and proud of. I always think and be grateful that for my mother, there were a lot of people that gave her the best care. I want to continue doing that in her name for others.
