About Andrea

The greatest characteristic a caregiver can have is Empathy. A good caregiver pays attention to detail in regards to their clients habits ,routines, physical appearance and moods; to determine if something may be wrong. I became a caregiver because I genuinely love helping others and being of service to my elders. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is having the opportunity and the ability to enhance the quality of life for my clients. I am most proud of the positive feedback I have received over many from my employers, my clients and their families on my work ethic recognizing the uniqueness of the care I provide.
