About Omar

Over the past 10 years I have been by the sides of 3 grandparents and an uncle who needed assistance with their daily routines. One of the main reasons I chose to be there for them was I enjoy making people laugh and just have a good time. They would always tell me how I would make them forget the issues they where dealing with and how the moments we shared took them back to the good times. The reason I want to get into care giving is I really believe there is so many Seniors out there that just don't get the love and overall attention they deserve. Just because someone gets old doesn't mean they no longer have a purpose in life. Some of the best years in life happens in your 60's, 70's and above and I would like to share them with someone who is in need.

Hello, my name is Gabriella and I have been working as a caregiver professionally for over 7 years. I completed a CNA program at the age of 17 and graduated with honors and awards at the top of my class. Afterwards, I started pursuing a bachelor's in registered nursing. I have transferred colleges and I am still working towards that degree. I have worked in facilities and as a private duty caregiver. I am currently working in an assisted living facility as a medication technician/resident care aide. I am a high energy, flexible, compassionate, and experienced hard worker. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about my experience and availability.
