About Agartha

I became a caregiver because I have compassion for the weak and the vulnerable. I am the first born of my parents and growing up I had the opportunity to take care of four of my younger siblings. This early childhood experience has imbued in my the love of taking care of children and the elderly ones. What I like about being a caregiver is the fact that it affords me the opportunity to bring smile on the faces of those who feel lonely and excluded. Listening to such ones share their life experiences also makes me happy and encouraged to assist them more. My personal achievement that I am proud of is having completed a college with a bachelor's degree in education and also having being able to obtained board certification in nursing aide. I have been able to handled challenging clients who initially did not want others to attend to them. But when such ones see me they feel happy to have me around them. They tell my supervisor how much they appreciate my service and I think that is a great feat of achievement. I was on May 16, 1972. I have completed both high school and college. I have taught kids in lower middle school and Junior high school. I have bachelor's degree in education. I am married and devout Christian. I love preaching about God's Kingdom to people. I have tender affection and compassion for people especially the vulnerable and the afflicted one.

    I became a caregiver since the year 2000 after I graduated from Classic Nurses Academy and took my board Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA) licensure examination . Naturally, I'm compassionate , trustworthy, reliable, punctual on assignments , dedicated and above all very patience, I also love to make a difference in the life of others and put smiles on their faces, with that aspect of motivation in mind , I also helps the elderly at the volunteer food distribution in my community with whatever problems and needs that they may have. WORKING EXPERIENCE : I started working for Maxim Healthcare in January 2000. Through that, I connected with one of my clients who had Parkinson's disease. I worked with this client for a while until his children decided to hire me as a private caregiver and moved me with the client from Virginia to Colorado, because the children wanted their father to be closer to them. I took care of this client until he passed away. I returned back to Virginia after his death and started another work with Care Options in 2002. I have dealt with many clients with different needs and disabilities for the past eighteen years . PRIVATE CARE: I have being providing private care for as many as 35 to 40 different clients and families within Virginia and Maryland.
