About GENA

To be helpful, and because I loved her, I started helping my grandmother with daily needs. She paid me for the help. We had so much fun and I realized that it didn't feel like work because we were taking care of her everyday things. Later, as my dad's memory was declining with Alzheimer's disease, I stepped in regularly to provide respite for my mom. I learned so much and was glad to assist. These were key motivators for learning about and working with senior adults. I took a class in therapeutic recreation that taught alot about physical and mental needs of seniors. I value learning, but even more, I value the relationships made from helping. Part of my personality wants to have fun, always. So, while providing basic needs, I hope to bring levity and happiness to the lives of my clients. If we eat, we chat. If we drive, we sing. If we take on a task, we make time to enjoy life too. I love my work.

**Due to scheduling, I am no longer taking new clients** Hello, my name is LaToya. I am currently a student at ACC majoring in Diagnostic Medical/Vascular Sonography. I've completed ACC's Certified Nursing Assistant program and am registered by the state of Texas. Through education and work experience, I feel this is the path for me. I like assisting people and helping them be as independent as they are able to. I previously worked in a small-town public library and assisting people or just chatting about their day was very fulfilling. My interests are reading, music, watching classic movies, and dancing.

$25.00/hour · Belton, TX
Hello! My name is April and I would love to be your caregiver. We have been a military family for 30 years and it is time to hang it up! I first became a caregiver when I was actually 18 years old. I became a Texas EMT. I was very rewarding but we got stationed elsewhere. Then when we made it back to Fort Hood I decided to go to CNA school. Again it was very rewarding but the military moved us. Two years after we moved my grandmother became sick. Instead of going to a care facility where there is no telling how she would be treated she ended up staying at home so that her family could take care of her. Even when she would have to be hospitalized for a short period of time she would tell the nurses that I was her care giver and that she wanted me to do the tasks instead of them. I want to be your caregiver because our mature family members need great care. Not just left alone in a bed to sit.
