About Antonia

Love people, like to see them smile and enjoying life to the fullest. I like to see people do as much as possible for themselves, so that they don't feel helpless or a burden to anyone. I have raised my oldest granddaugther as a single-grandmother, she is now in the process of graduating next year and going to college. Her aunts, uncle and mom have all gotten their diplomas'. Worked in the medical field 15+ years, have experience working in the private sector, hospital staff relief, New-Born Nursery, ICU, CCU, Medicare visits, VA visits, private-sitter in the home or hospital, and as a companion. I have worked with the very young, and the elderly, with the handicap, disabled, people recovering from surgery, and also first time mothers. Working with different nationalities I have enjoyed it and found it very educational, as a whole it is very rewarding. I don't just see them as old people who need help, they are full of information that needs to be heard, and listened too so that information doesn't get forgotten or lost. They are someone special, they have not gotten to be as old as they are because they didn't learn anything out of life and are willing to pass on their experiences to help save some heartache. Really enjoy working with people of all ages, like working with the new born so they can experience love for the first time instead of remembering that slap on their bottom as a welcome. Like working with the elderly so that their last days will be filled with thoughts
