My first job, at age 10, was summer companion to my maternal grandmother. Working for the family matriarch required abundant labor (my grandmother was elderly), but the daily chores gave rise to an unexpected pleasure; I liked being responsible. For 12 lovely summers, I cleared the acorns from her croquet court, hiked to the store to buy her groceries, and delivered her (she did not drive) by rowboat to tea at the homes of neighbors. Within the formality of her cottage, I learned to be a responsible member of a household. And whether I felt like it or not, I learned to be good company. Still under my grandmother's spell, I have worked as a lady's companion and as a gentleman's secretary for more than 20 years. Although I am no longer gathering acorns, I accompany my employers on their travels, keep them company at cultural events, edit their memoirs, encourage them to draw and paint. I have found these employments to be congenial and remunerative. They give me great pleasure.

I enjoy taking care of patients of all ages. In my career I've had the opportunity of working in a Hospital, Nursing home, as well as Home Health Care. I think it's rewarding when you enjoy the career you chose providing the best patient care possible. I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently I'm reliable, trustful and friendly. I've a reliable transportation and a valid driver license. References upon request.
