About Althea

About me ... I have been in the medical /childcare field over 11 years I I have worked Inhome, facilities, and hospice. Private and Company based. Currently employed by one of the top rated senior companies in greater New Orleans I understand every individual is different and require different levels of care , attention and patience. I love my job and it brings a smile to my face to be able to help someone who is confident they can count on me being there to assist with something as small as making a cup of coffee or something as big as daily grooming. It warms my heart to see faces of approval , satisfaction, and gratitude. At a young age I always knew I wanted to care for something or someone babies, elders even animals. Some of my top qualities: patience , compassionate, attentive, honest, realiable and trust worthy. I take pride in successfully and safely accomplishing task . Hobbies : cooking, cleaning, movies nights , board and card games I was always told if you do what you love and love what you do you'll never work a day in your life and this is why I'm a caregiver :)
