About Samantha

First and foremost, I have a compassionate heart and desire to serve the most vulnerable in society. I am currently a graduate student at Loyola University Chicago with the intention of becoming a healthcare or hospice chaplain. I hold a M.S. in psychology and have over nine years of work experience in non-profit, specially in the fields of: education, mental health, and social services. My interest in caregiving has been a life long desire starting as a babysitter at age 12 and continued with my work in social services. My favorite part of caregiving occurred when I was able to advocate for a client's personal needs.

    I was a Librarian back in the Philippines but when I came to the US in 2006, my friend encouraged me to try working with the elderly as a caregiver. Since then, I have been working as a caregiver and I developed the love and passion in taking care of the elderly. I have experience in taking care.of elderly with different health issues such as Alzheimers, Dementia, diabetis, heart diseases (ie. CHF), Lung or respiratory disease, stroke, cancer, hospice, etc. I assist my residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, etc.. I also do meal preparation , laundry, light housekeeping and medication reminder. I can also assist my Residents with their errands and bring them to their doctor's appointments. I am not only a caregiver to to my Residents but I am also a companion, a friend, a confidant whom they could trust and depend on. I am a responsible person,, loyal and reliable. I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives. My nationality is Filipino and we are known to be the best in caregiving, especially to the elderly.
