About Gloria

I became a Caregiver to give a service to individuals who are ill or can't care for themselves. I cared for my parents when they were ill and was the primary caregiver to my children when the became ill. It gives me a good feeling seeing a patient smile, knowing I have done everything I can do to make them comfortable. A personal achievement that I am proud of is when I successfully completed and graduated from school as a Medical Assistant. I am a knowledgeable and experienced in the field of caring for patients, I attend Medical assistant school and completed externship at Dr. Robert Kidd urology clinic. I love to read articles and books regarding giving patient care and focusing on the needs of the patient or patients in giving more than 100% in their recovery process.
