About Herminia

I’ve always been a caring person and have always helped others whenever I have seen there is something I can do to help them. As a Caregiver (CNA), I have all too frequently seen a client not receiving the proper care required even though it’s a part of the requirements of their care. If I see there something is wrong or anything I can do to make the person comfortable, I will go out of my way to help them because it is the way I would want to be treated if I were in their position. In other words, I treat clients as I would want to be treated myself. I became a Caregiver because I like to help people. I enjoy the rapport with my client, listening attentively to their conversation and using what is learned to effectively personalize the care I provide them. After a day’s work, I know that I did my best for the client and my effort is not in vain because I try to do my work with the best of intentions. If I am chosen to be your personal Caregiver for a loved one or possibly even you the person reading this, you can be assured that I will do my best to give the personalized and caring care that is needed. I have a conscious and don’t see this kind of work I do just simply as a job, but as a chance to make a person’s life more comfortable and to make a positive difference. I look forward toward working with you or your loved one.
