    Mrs. Dominica Chiechi
    August 24,2015 To Whom it May Concern: I am writing regarding Reinery Cortes. Reina, as she is called, was the caregiver for my mother for almost 4 years. My mother died in early August 2015, and Reina is seeking another position as a caregiver and has asked me to write this letter on her behalf. Reina, who generally took care of my mother during the week when I was at work, was a devoted caregiver. She was very conscientious in her work and took excellent care of my mother. Reina was meticulous in her caregiving and followed well the instructions she was given in caring for my mother. She was very gentle and kind with my mother. Reina also was very clean and organized. My mother was very pleased with the care that she received from Reina, as were I and my sister who lives in NYC but who visited my mother and me often. I highly recommend Reina as a caregiver. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 301-221-9760. ~~ Carolyn P. Chiechi

    Mr. Jack Griffin
    September 16 2011 To Whom It My Concern: Reinery Cortes Ortiz, a Certified Nursing Assistant, employed by me. Reina came to us as a temporary replacement. She served as a competent, reliable and loving caregiver for my wife who requires both personal and emotional care. My wife felt comfortable with Reina doing very personal things for her such as cutting her toenails, preparing her evening shower, administering her daily medicines, preparing her meals and driving her to the hairdresser. Working with Reina, my wife was motivated to accomplish her daily exercise routine and increase the number of times she could perform each exercise. She grew to see Reina as a family friend rather than a caregiver and entered into wonderful conversations with her. Reina also served well in her tasks in caring for our home: doing the light cleaning, purchasing the groceries, ordering and picking up medications, accounting for the household money she spent, and other needed errands and tasks. She took full responsibility and initiative quickly learning all tasks and required no oversight. I highly recommend Reina for a position in caring for the elderly, disabled or children. She has many skills and learns very quickly. Most importantly she is a kind and caring person who is pleasure to have in your home. JACK GRIFFIN 239-398-9564

    \"My passion for caretaking came when my grand dad was left under my care and I took care of him until he passed away. Since then, I have been taking care of loved ones until they've sadly departed. All of my experience has been hands-on and I can assist in all aspects of home care from companionship to bathing/dressing, to meal preparation. I can also assist in managing doctor visits and ensuring that doctors stay coordinated. I am a certified CNA / LPN With the Maryland Board of Nursing and also certified in First Aid, CPR and AEDs for adults and children. My hobbies are reading and spending time with family, time permitting. I have references available upon request, and they would be happy to speak with you about the level of care I have for my patients and the type of care I offer. I'm open to short-term engagements, but prefer longer-term so I can build your trust over time and provide care in a way that meets each of your unique needs. I would enjoy talking about helping you or your loved one.

    I think anyone who is a caregiver should love the job, and I can say that I definitely love the work that I do. I grew up with my grandparents who lived to be 99 and 102 years old. I enjoyed caring for them and I extend that love to the other people whom I care for. I have been a caregiver for over thirteen years, and I just love what I do. My mother is 93 years old and unfortunately the distance between us makes it impossible for me to care for her. So as a caregiver, I care for people as if they are my mother. I provide my patients with the highest level of care, the same kind that I would want my mother to receive.
