About Norene

Caregiving is my nature. It is what I do because it is who I am. I just earned a Graduate Certificate in Patient Advocacy because I empathize with the desire of every person to be heard and understood. I strive to listen as much as possible to establish unique rapport and trust with each individual according to his or her personal wishes and needs. I also am a Certified Laughter Leader because gentle kind laughter really is the best medicine. I am a firm believer in Maya Angelou's quote "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel". I strive to make people feel safe and cared for.

    Sister
    I totally packed up my sister's apartment and moved her in with me. She had two bad hips and ataxia and was unable to do anything that required mobility. I did all her laundry, grocery shopping, and household upkeep. I cooked most meals, took her to her doctors appointments and even helped her figure out her Medicare applications. We played games, watched movies, went out to the theater. When she decided to move closer to our other sisters to have hip surgery, I boxed up all her belongings and packed the truck for the move.

    Hi my name is Maritza Pedro I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that not only do I have 6 years of experience. I started really young at this when I was 20 years old. So therefore for me taking care of our elderly has been the most rewarding experience because I have learn so much and truly love what I do. I give my best by understanding their needs and disabilities that they might have. Taking care of a human is a big responsibility that I do with a lot of love, compassion , dedication and understanding.
