About Rachael

I became a caregiver when my elderly neighbor with dementia became sick and needed assistance with feeding, sanitary needs, medication and companionship. I am currently attending Temple University as a senior Biology major on a pre PA track And graduating with my Bachelors in Science December 2018. I have also completed a training course for Medical Assisting and plan on taking the certification exam late May 2018.I have managed a Ritas Water Ice business for 5 years and was an employee for 6 years, so becoming promoted to manager at age 17 was a big achievement of mine and really shows my dedication and leadership skills. I have a big heart and I take pride in helping others. Please feel free to contact me by email or cell with any further questions!

I been a caregiver since 2009 and I really love what I do even before that I use to care for my grandmother before she passed away. I think what makes me a good caregiver I was told by many of my supervisors I also put my residents needs first and extend that extra hand and attention I have certificates and pins from serval of facilities I've worked for just for being extra caring and also good with the residents.
