About Ricardo

1. I am a caring, kind and compassionate individual who enjoy working with those who require care. 2. I started when I was 10 years old needing to take care of my great grand mother after she had injured her left foot. From that point I developed the ability and personal joy in helping people in need especially the elderly. 3. The ability to meet a persons needs; granted it's not always a glamor's job, but when your day is done , the person may feel like they had been treated with dignity and respect; their needs are met they are comfortable. 4. I have over the years developed wonderful caring and loving client caregiver relationships. I realized what a privilege it is to help those who are unable to help themselves. I believe I have a purpose in life and my purpose in life is to bring joy where I can and be a blessing to others.

I am a caregiver with more than 18 years of experience with seniors and people with special needs. I provide safe, respectful, loving, skilled care towards every one of my patients. I will deliver peace of mind to family members by keeping their loved ones safe while also protecting their independence and preserving their dignity. I give detailed information and pay close attention to my clients and to the families' needs. I have taken care of many people from family members, friends, and clients in facilities to group home members and privately cared for patients. Whatever the needs may be, I strive to go above and beyond my call of duty. Life is a treasure and if I can provide life or encouragement to anyone, or let them know that they are still loved and living with grace and dignity, I am that Angel.
