About CATRINA

I am a CNA and CHHA with 18 years experience. I became a health care aide because I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I started off as a CNA only but I wanted to do something that was more personable to an individual so I acquired my CHHA. And in doing so I was able to start my career off working for a hospice. By my starting that way, it gave me compassion on a whole different level. I worked as a shower aide for home health as well as hospice,going out to individuals homes for about 12 years. I later decided to experience different things, giving me a much more vast range of experience. I have work in Long-Term Care, skilled unit, Home health, hospice, rehabilitation, respite care, comfort Care, private duty, memory Care, elderly group home, and companion care. I have enjoyed every range of care that I have experienced being a part of. I enjoy helping others and just being able to give my client something to look forward to. Also, I realize that everyone is an individual so I try to treat a client based on their personality, including things that know that they enjoy. I use those things to help me when engaging with the client, as well as adding to the quality of care and quality of a client's life in general!

I always loved to help others and with the lost of my father I realized how hard the last few years with him was and how little help I had with the other pressures in life it took a toll so I quit my job to stay home with my dad and I seen the difference that hands on and love made with him and I knew then this was what I was meant to do in life share my love and compassion with others

I am an experienced caregiver with impeccable references. In my last 2 positions, I assumed the role of house manager. I have provided care for 2 patients with dementia, 1 patient with low mobility due to rheumatoid arthritis and an end stage heart disease patient requiring oxygen 24/7. I had an extensive background check with my most recent employer and had a thorough background check as well as fingerprinting when I worked as a claims adjuster for USAA. I am reliable, trustworthy, caring, understanding, patient and detail oriented. I will be more than happy and proud to provide references.
