About Lydia

1. I love helping people, especially one-on-one. 2. I love working with groups or individuals of all ages in a setting conducive to healing, quality of life and learning. I have acquired a humble respect for the elderly and the disabled. The older I get, the more sympathetic I become towards them. 3. I got to be there for my aunt as she transitioned from early stage dementia to final stage Altzheimer's. Something I was not able to do for my own mother. Somehow being with her helped me to heal. I decided then, that I would dedicate myself to being there for others. No one should have to spend their twilight years alone. 4.I have grown up with a caregiver's heart because of the awesome example set by my mother in her personal ministry for the widows of the church and caring for her Dad for 16 years after his stroke. I understood early, that giving of oneself is as much gift for the giver as it is to the care receiver. Love and care are synonymous and hence Godly traits that I have had the opportunity and privilege to develop and integrate into my daily routine. We are all capable of being caregivers, we just need to nurture that part of our God-like nature.

Artelia Muntz, A private duty caregiver since 2004. A personal achievement I am so proud of. I love being a caregiver, it was a gift from God. I lost my mother at an early age, so I had to grow up fast. I raised three sisters under the age 18 years old and got them through high school. Prior to caregiving, I owned and operated a hair salon in Houston Texas for more than ten years. I came to Dallas, Texas in 2002. God revealed to me that I was needed as a caregiver for Seniors or whomever needed me. I started working as a caregiver in 2004 and I loved it. I have taken care of most of my clients for three years, plus or until the end. I love motivating my clients/patients to want to keep on waking up. I love to see them smile and be happy to see me when I arrive. My past clients/patient have become like family to me. Thank you, Artelia Muntz Thank You
