About Althea

Why did I become a caregiver? Good question! Growing up as a child I always took care of my grandmother, and as a child I remember asking myself what if I could do this for a living. I simply loved the joy my grandmother felt when I took care of her and hence I became a caregiver. I find great joy in being a caregiver. I simply love people, and even more the elderly. Because of the experience I had with my grandmother growing up as a child, I cultivated such a passion and great respect for them, so at anytime of me taking care of them I treat them as I would treat my grandmother! It never fails the joy and warmth that I experience every time I am with a new patient. My personal achievement that I would be proud of would actually be gaining and /or receiving my CNA license. I felt like it was one of the most exciting days of my life. I felt like it was perhaps the beginning of greatness. What better achievement could I have receive then one that could deal with different types of people, and causing a smile to be on their face. Who is Althea? I told that I am a kind, loving, happy, carding individual. I just simply love people. I am currently newly WED and my husband is a pastor, so it is in my heart to just love people.

    Hi!! My name is Miracle, I have been a caregiver for 1 year now and I am CPR certified. My idea of the ideal caregiver is someone who is understanding, compassionate, punctual, kind very patient, and able to communicate.I believe I am all those things and more! In my previous caregiving experience I have assisted many different individuals with regular house projects, to being out in the community, to assisting with meal prep. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions you may have!

    I am a very caring person, sensitive to people's condition and do my work diligently making sure that the privacy of my clients is always protected. As I looked after my nun with a stroke till she passed, I got drawn more to offering more help to people who need them most. I enjoy talking and listening to various stories of my clients since they are very insightful and my personal achievement was when I had to do a CPR on someone to prevent death.
