About Gail

I have been caring for seniors for many years. It started with my own grandfather when I was younger in between I had another career in real estate but that brought me back to work with seniors. I worked in sales for new developing Life Care communities. This gave me a great education on care and the cost and quality available. Later when my mother-in-law suffered from dementia in 2014 Stated working with her as a paid home health aid and that's where my new career started!!!! I've always enjoyed the company of seniors. Hearing their stories and having them share their wisdom. I am incredibly patient which helps many clients because they get frustrated easily. They need someone who can help them with them in these moments I have a very diverse background. I've worked for large companies in management positions as well as start up companies where I was one of three employees. I'm a self started and I'm able to handle emergency situations. No matter your situation, please call me so we can discuss your families situation. Every circumstance is very unique and I believe that there is no standard plan. I prefer to meet every client first because the relationship is the most important part of this process. Your loved one and their comfort is the most important factor.

I became a caregiver because I like caring for people that can no longer care for themselves the way that they would like to, be it for health reasons or etc. I like knowing that I am making their lives easier and making them feel better about themselves, avoiding any insecurities about their limitations. A personal achievement that I am proud of is knowing that in such little time I made a difference to many of my patients...I worked for almost 2 years at a nursing home facility and they all asked me to stay because no one had taken care of them like I had and I see this as an achievement. About myself, I am 44 years old. I acquired my CNA license in 2014 and I love the field I am in. I am experienced in in-home care and Hospital ICU care. I am a very caring and dependable individual. I am bilingual in Spanish. I also have my CPR certificate that was recently acquired in 2015 and my Phlebotomist Certificate which I acquired in 2019.
