Hi, my name is Paulina Orellana! I feel that I am a good caregiver because I am very nurturing when it comes to those who are in need. I haven't had a professional or "real" job in the health industry, however growing up with an older brother who is cerebral palsy has taught me a lot. Seeing the time and effort my parents have put into my brother has made me grow to appreciate and respect all types of caregivers. I enjoy the feeling of knowing that I have helped someone and I also enjoy having conversations with a variety of different types of personalities. My biggest achievement is how I was able to grow and learn about my brothers condition and what I needed to do to help him. I may not be that qualified since this isn't what I do professionally, but I have a strong heart and I love helping others. I am willingly to learn things about being a better caregiver and am determined to get the job done in a respectful and devoted way. I also will get my background verified once I am able to pay the fee!
