About Elizabeth

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated professional with more than two decades of experience in the healthcare professions as both a Registered Nurse in Colombia and a Certified Nurse Assistant in the United States. In my most recent job, I worked as a Certified Nurse Assistant who provided outstanding healthcare services to residents at Heartis of Waco Assisted Living and Memory Care. Prior to moving to the United States in 2008, I worked for more than 8 years as a surgical room nurse in a cosmetic surgery clinic in my native country of Colombia. Additionally, I possess strong attention to detail and am able to keep accurate and concise written service records. My interpersonal and communication skills are outstanding: I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in English, and I am adept at helping people to open up and to feel at ease. Patients have told me on many occasions that they feel comfortable talking to me about some of their deepest personal matters and feel confident that I will provide assistance to them without judgment. I have no doubt you will find that I am a consummate professional with a high regard for clients and the ability to provide counseling and outreach in a compassionate manner. Thank you for your time.

Hello my name is Angelica I have been a caregiver for 15+ years I took care of my father he passed away last year at the age of 89. Every day I woke up ready to take care of him I love being his caregiver it was stressful at times just like with any other job but knowing every day I made a difference in his life brought me so much happiness I did everything for my dad to keep them as comfortable as possible I bathed him fed him took care of his medication I would motivate him to get out of bed and start his day to walk exercise we would watch TV shows we would play around with our dogs and we love listening to music together. After my father passed away I found other people to take care of my responsibilities are very similar to what I would do with my dad I love doing what I do.

I've worked with many different medical conditions. The love for elderly is what I have and enjoy doing and being their companion.
