About Vergena

I am a veteran of US Army. I was raised by both my parents and grandparents. I helped my grandparents with giving insulin daily when I was a teenager. Both my parents was sick with cancer and I took care of them both til their last breath. My grandmother was a nurse and was so compassionate. She always helped others in need and I am the same way. I have been working with the sick and shut in as well as children all my adult life. I went to school for CNA and Early childhood development. I'm very family oriented and I love to give back and put a smile on people face whenever possible.

Experience caregiver having over 10 years working with various clients. I guess you could say my life could be encapsulated in four simple words faith, family, friends, and helping others! I have worked in Home Health both in nursing homes as well as memory care facilities for over 10 years. I love helping people, I also feel that in some ways this is my ministry even though it is my part-time job. I have experience in memory care, ADL's, transfer assist, gait training, lighthouse keeping, meal prep, companionship, and bathing and grooming, I have dependable transportation and arrive to work on time and don't miss days unless I am ill. I am normally very healthy, and I insist on cleanliness and am constantly washing my hands. I would like to think I am extremely cautious in keeping both myself safe as well as you. I've had extensive training in HIPAA and sanitation. After retiring from Health and Human Services caregiving became my passion. I'm a very conscientious and hard worker and yet I still remain cheerful throughout the day. I also am a Certified Activities Director so I feel like I bring a little more than just caregiving. I believe that seniors need daily activities to stay happy and healthy and if possible to be a part of their day-to-day activities and have a purpose. If the senior is capable and able to water plants or assist with meal prep I encourage that. Well read this and hopefully you and your family can decide if I would be a good fit for you and if so please get in contact with me I look forward to meeting you and it would be my pleasure to assist you in any way I can. Wishing continuous success in your journey be safe and stay well!
