About Patricia

I primarily became a caregiver for my mother which was for almost 8 years. I love taking care of people and making sure they are safe, well taken care of, and supported. I am proud of my bachelor degree which I will have by Spring of 2016! My studies are in Gerontology and I want to be an advocate for the elderly. They need and deserve a strong voice. So many things I see that are incorrect with our present health system. I am so blessed having taken care of my elderlly mother. I know I can't change everythng, but I can make a little bit of difference in senior's lives.

I am hard working, patient and compassionate. I am able to handle any situation that comes my way, while keeping my composure. I was attracted to this field of work because I believe in making the best possible use of what you have. Being patient and "passive" is not always viewed as a positive thing, but if I can leverage my personality traits to build professional relationships that are mutually beneficial, I believe that is a truly rewarding experience. I am a natural problem solver and that's what makes this job enjoyable for me. I like the fact that every day is different and brings new challenges that translate into learning experiences. I aim to learn as much as possible, at all times, regardless of circumstance. I am proud of the fact that I am able to remain positive and take something away from each experience I have in life.

I became a caregiver so I could give back to my community and people. I like being a caregiver because I can provide help and meet the required needs. When I see a smile on my client's face,this lets me know that the person is satisfied and pleased. One of my achievements is becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am also certified as a Leasing Consultant. I'm currently enrolled in school online for LPN. I'm a wonderful mother too!
