About Susan

I love the personal interaction and helping people. I am the oldest of eight and have been taking care of others since before I can remember. After that I had three daughters who grew up to not only be beautiful but smart and ambitious! I have been a special needs paraprofessional for over 10 years and even before that I took care of my husband who had numerous health issues. When my youngest daughter moved out in 2010 and then my husband passed in 2013 (after I spent 10 yrs caring for him and over 2 months in Hospice), a major hole in my life appeared. I realized I am a born caretaker and I no longer had anyone to care for. As a special needs paraprofessional, I not only enhanced my prior skills but developed a ton of new ones! I can get along with anyone and I have love and passion for life!

    I am a very loving, compassionate,joyful and patient caregiver. I am very detail oriented and a do my work with a spirit of excellence! I am very dependable and knowledgeable as I have been a caregiver for 20 yrs. My first job as a caregiver was in 1996. While I was donig Missionary work in Victoria, Tx., a 23 yr. old homeless man came to us for help. He had many health issues and after taking him to the Dr. in San Antonio, they found out that he had Cancerous tumor in his Brain. He was given 6 months to live and I brought him to San Antonio, Tx. and became his caregiver in our home. He lived 3 yrs. and I had the priviledge of learning how to be a Hospice Caregiver without the pay from man...but God rewarded me with the awesome experience and prepared me for a new career in Caregiving!

    I think I'd make a great caregiver I love building relationships with other I communicate very well with others. I have an easy going personality I get along very well with anyone. I'd like to become a caregiver more because it's personal to me that elders are taken care of if I could go back I would of spent all day and night with my grandpa but I was to young to understand what I needed to do for him. I like knowing that I could put a smile on anyone's face if I was a caregiver I could lighten up the mood in any given situation.
