About Teresa

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that I truly love helping people, giving them laughter and making them feel at ease....Hugs and a smile go a long ways!!! I was a dental assistant for 20 plus years..work for three old fashion dentist, that truly cared about their patients as family...when the last one retired, I decided to change careers, I had always wanted to try hospice, after a family member was sick and saw the compassion the aids had , I felt like it was a calling...I have had family members ask me how long I had been in this field, when I told them I changed careers they thought that I had been doing this for years...I have former patients family that would always thank me for caring about their family member...and it really made me feel so happy that I brought joy to someone's life. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is that knowing I made a difference in someone's life is so rewarding to me in my heart!

    I have been working in the healthcare field for 20yrs, and have work and all kinds of settings with many different clients and different stages of health. I became a caregiver because I like providing companionship and getting to know people. I like seeing positive results from my clients and their family. I am proud receiving my certification in Phlebotomy, EKG, and Patient Care Technician from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I am also National Registered Certified Medical Assistant.

    I am a passionate and reliable caregiver possessing over 15 years professional experience. Committed to providing the highest quality care to the geriatric and disabled community. It brings great satisfaction to be able to maintain/sustain a degree of independence for clients, companionship and being able to provide a alternative care for clients in home. I became a caregiver from the advice of a uncle, who told me that I was a natural caregiver during the time of taking care of my grandparents. One of the most personal achievable things I'm most proud of in caregiving is maintaining skin integrity without any breakdowns or bedsores of any client.
