About Charlene

Hello my Name in Charlene I am exceptionally capable and compassionate care provider with 21 years of experience with the elderly and the disable. I am a great care provider, hard working and honest person who is able to take initiative and surpass the expectation of the employer or the client I will be working with. One thing that attracted me to be a care provider is meeting a lot of different people and being able to make the client and their family to fill at ease. I enjoy being a care provider because I love seeing the people I work with smile and be able to make a difference in their day. A personal achievement that I have faced in my life, is when I nearly drowned twice and over came my fear of the water. I learned how to swim and became a swim instructor, life guard, Synchronized swimmer and coach.
