About Barbara

Being a detailed oriented person, kind and caring, always following directives from the family and supervisor, take pride in sanitization and cleanliness for both patient and the household. What attracted me to being a caregiver is the desire to care for disadvantaged and disabled seniors when needed. Also, my experience as a social worker made me aware there is a great need of services for this specific community. I enjoy knowing that my services are vastly needed with assisting clients' improvement of quality of their lives. It brings warmness to my heart to prepare home-cooked meals for my clients and to experience their reaction to the meals I prepared for them and they share with me how wonderful they taste. I also love the communication between my clients and their interest as well as and the daily activity engagements that we share. I am proud to be a caregiver for over 40 years with excellent references and I still love what I do.
