About Teresa

I am a mother and grandmother so I have always considered myself a caregiver. It wasn't until 18 years ago when I began to take care of my own parents full time that I realized how different it was to care for either the elderly or those with disabilities. I think it takes compassion and respect. I know from my own parents how hard it is to lose your independence and still maintain the dignity one deserves. This is how I wanted my parents to be treated and how I think I have learned to work with those I have come to take care for. I have worked not only as an in home caregiver but have worked the last three years as a CNA caring for people in a skilled nursing facility. I have certifications as Medication Technician, Restorative Aide and Dementia Care. Starting in 2019 I moved to Tucson Az. Worked in the hospital during Covid and now work as a caregiver in a small assisted living home.
