Compassion and empathy for others are traits that enables me to work well as a caregiver. The study of Gerontology at Edwards university convinced me that Positive Aging or Aging Gracefully is really attainable with the right tools and the right attitude in place. My mother assisted the elderly, I would help her from time to time. I knew it was the right thing to do. When I graduated high school, I went to work in a Nursing home as a Nurses Aide. The thing I enjoy most about caregiving is being able to encourage others to live and enjoy life one day at a time in spite of the circumstances. Securing the 83 hrs of Gerontology at St. Edwards University and the time I learned and worked for the City of Austin for 22 years. I started as a volunteer, Senior nutrition aide, promoted to Site Mgr. , promoted to Site Mgr. Supervisor, Promoted to Project Director, Senior Employment. When I retired I was acting Program manager of Senior Programs. These are two achievement I'm proud of. The greatest achievement was when a Hospice client was motivated, got up from bed and starting fixing her breakfast again.

I'm a servant at heart and love caring for people. I'm a very loving and caring woman who will take the very best care of your loved one. My first experience as a caregiver started when I was fifteen. I was hired as a nanny to care for two boys.i worked with this family for 5 years. In 2007 I worked in an orphanage where I told care of children who were heart broken because they lost their loved one. I was later on promoted to an orphanage director due to my heart felt services to children at need for over 8 years. In 2014 till date I have been caring for the elderly population . I have worked with different types of elderlypeople with different types of arging challenges . I have equally served hospice care who were able to peaceful and comfortable went to rest in heaven. I love pets and is comfortable caring for pets.
