About Catalina

I started as a caregiver my first quarter of college. I had never been in the healthcare field and I must admit that when I did get hired as a caregiver, i thought to myself 'what am i getting into?' Like any other job i was nervous at first, i had never done this and would i be able to take care of another human? i didn't think i would make it a month! How wrong I was! Soon after starting, i began to realize this was more than just a paycheck, I went to work and came home feeling good because i could help people, make them laugh with my goofiness, take them out to see new places even if it was close to their home. The fact that i could encourage people to come out and enjoy life was an amazing feeling! And although i do not plan on doing this for the rest of my life, it is nice to feel that while i am doing it, i can help influence people to live happy and comfortable lives with my assistance.

Ambitions of WA
As a caregiver at Ambitions i did in-home care for mentally disabled adults. My goals while were working there were to assist the client with daily duties such as bathing, medications, driving to doctors appointments, grocery shopping, and many other things. As i mentioned my goal was to ASSIST the client, meaning i was not to make them fully dependent on me (unless needed) so they could learn to become as independent as possible. It was a joy to be able to be part of such great lives.

I am a very reliable and honest caregiver that believes through my positive attitude, compassionate personality, and patience as a virtue is the key ingredients when caring for someone's love one. I also believe in great communication skills. Through the client, client's family, and other assigned medical professionals working together; there is no reason a client can't be cared for in the privacy and comfort of their own home. I am also state registered so my background check is done and can accept payment through Medicare.

I am a compassionate person who listens for someone that may feel like they don't have and need at the time. I try my best to be a good friend to my clients and make them feel understood, respected, I am a very approachable person who loves to listen and get to connect with the clients. I am a caregiver but I also become good friends with the clients who can be truly comfortable with me. Enjoyment of my job as a caregiver is to know that I can make a true positive impact that provides the client with a happy outcome that even the families of the client can see. I have achieved many things in my life that does not provide a certificate for. Having a family that cares and wants the best for me.
