About Vicky

I became a caregiver initially when my brother opened a home healthcare facility in California. Prior to that position, I was a dietician for a nursing home in Richardson, TX. I enjoy taking care of those in need and have always been referred to my past employers. I never had to apply for a position for my previous care giving employment. It was always offered to me due to my reputation and word of mouth. My personal achievement has been providing my clients with the utmost care and creating a safe and compassionate environment. I am most proud of assisting my clients achieve a longer and healthier quality of life. I am a senior myself and I am empathic to their situation. I have assisted in preparing meals, diabetic and medicine needs, preparing my clients daily activities and needs. I have taken my clients to doctor appointments and have worked with those with Dementia and Alzheimer. I am not only a health care provider, but will make it my job to create and treat them as if are family and care for them as such. About myself, I am passionate about cooking and creating a meal that is nutritious and delicious. I have 4 adult children and 7 grand children. I have and continue to assist in raising my grandchildren. Not ready to retire at this stage of my life. I only feel satisfied when helping others. I am female and Filipino and have been raised to respect elders and care for those in need of help.

    As a live in provider, I was in charge of insulin shots and staying on top of Sam Diamond's medicine schedule. I cooked all his meals, gave him is insulin shots and also tested his sugar leve. Systematically gave him his medicine on schedule. I was in charge of his laundry and assited in his grooming daily and coordinated his doctor appointments. Sam had Alzhemier's and diabetic needs and addressed them in a timely manner. I made sure that is diet was strict but enjoyable. He was a wonderful man, funny man with a great heart.

    I became a caregiver because I wanted to provide my professional and quality care to the disable and to seniors. What I like about being a caregiver is, it really doesn't feel like work. It feels more like I just came over to assist a person in need. The personal achievement I am proud of is, that I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for the last 16 years. I am also a Certified Medication Aide, certified in 2005. I now have a better understanding of medications, and the affects they have on the body. What I would like to tell you about myself is, One day in 1992; before I became a caregiver, and before my grandmother passed away, I was assisting her put on her socks. I didnt understand it then, but somehow now I do; At that moment I knew I would be assisting people in need. I have been helping seniors & the disable now for 16 years. It's very rewarding to see a family member pleased with my work. I am a mother of three daughters and grandmother of two g-sons and one g-daughter. I am a nurturer by nature, and I enjoy making others feel happy, comfortable, and joyful in their homes and special space.
