About Silvio

I started caregiving primarily as just a temporary way to make bills, but I have fallen in love with it. I truly appreciate the opportunity to care. To help people in the ways they need most. Getting to know patients is a joy and every day I look forward to going to work. Every person I care for is different, and so the bond is different, but a bond always forms. I have been humbled by how much seniors and their families truly appreciate and look forward to my help and presence. I have two and a half years of experience with an in-home agency as well as nursing homes. I look forward to placing my experience and training at the service of your family.

Being a mother, I have learned several traits that has allowed me to be great as a caregiver. These traits include patience, compassion, the ability to listen and understand others as well as being able to aid with problem solving. I am interested in being a caregiver because I enjoy being in the company of elderly people. They always have a lot of knowledge to impart on me. As a result, I learn a lot from them. I enjoy being able to help others, learning from them and becoming a friend. One personal achievement I am proud of is being able to go to school and earn my degree. Due to my going to school, I was able to learn more about Alzheimer's Disease and obtain a certificate for completing the class. Finally, I was able to graduate with my Associate's Degree in Medical Assistant.

I have spent the last 30 years working in healthcare. My passion is truly caregiving, whether I am at work applying my education and skill as a PTA, or at home with family members that needed care (meals, transfers, adls, exercises, grocery shopping, etc). While I try to be empathetic toward the client, I do encourage the person to do as much as they can, and support them as needed. I enjoy listening to the stories of their lives, and appreciate their wisdom. Caregiving just goes along with my profession as a PTA, and working in acute care. It makes me happy to help someone when they can't be with their family, and just need to feel some comfort when they are unwell, or unable to take care of themselves. Our family has dealt with the need for caregivers for both grandmothers and for my brother, following a brain injury. It was very important for me to incorporate working towards independence, and facilitating a feeling of purpose, when I was with them. I have spent 15 years working privately as a caregiver.
