About Brenda

Hi, my name is Brenda and I have eight years of caregiving experience. Within these years of experience, I have became very skilled at helping older adults who had the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. I also have experience with helping older adults who have all other chronic health conditions, such as heart disease and strokes. Within my work with older adults, I am empathic, compassionate, patient, humorous, and honest. As a caregiver, I enjoy helping and supporting others. I enjoy being a companion for those who may struggle with loneliness or depression. I love letting people know that I am here for them by being present and attentive. I am proud that I took my years of experience as a caregiver and decided to venture out into a career path that I have always been passionate about, which is social work.
