About Aura

I become a Caregiver when I found how elderly need people who care about them. I like to practice my skills and knowledge with people that need care, and they can not do it by themselves anymore. When at the end of my care with my patient, he or she, is completely recuperated. And when my patients feel comfortable, no pain, most with cancer, or another terminal sickness. I am a Teacher in Guatemala, I came to Los Angeles in 1996, I was teaching there at this time for 20 years, I become a Caregiver in the same year 1996, when I met a retirement hotel for elderly people and started taking care a lady that could not see anything, was completely blind, and I saw the necessity of these people, and I took a decision, become a Caregiver for those people, and because I would like to have care from somebody in the same way that I do with my patients.
