I've always been attentive to my residents able to predict their needs because most of my residents wasn't able the fully Express themselves so I'm always able to read my patients and understand the situation I've been attracted to caregiving every since I was a child watching my mom do caregiving is what I most enjoy about care given What I'm most proud of as a CNA is I can literally say I've saved lives

I am registered in the State of California Home Care Aid Registry (#7516022156). Currently, I work for 3 organizations as a caregiver. My experience as a caregiver extends to working for Lighthouse Independent Living Services as an Independent Living Services Instructor, United Cerebral Palsy as an In-Home Trainer and Heartfelt Home Care Services working with elders. My experience as a caregiver began 18 years ago as I learned a great deal about the importance of being a caregiver as I started my caregiving responsibilities for my wife. I have a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Healthy Aging and during my studies, I volunteered to work at People's Self-Help Housing working with elders helping them with counseling, transportation and other needs. I have an interesting and funny story regarding how I saved a client from paying a $260 bill. My degree is allowing me to be a Registered Marriage and Family Therapy Intern (IMF 79643). I feel it is not only important to help the client, it is important to help the family as a whole if there is difficulty. I look forward to providing counseling support to other members of the family as needed. In addition, I have a second Master of Arts degree in Education, specializing in Counseling and Guidance. I became a School Counselor and currently maintain a school counseling credential. Before working towards becoming a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern (IMF 79643), I worked with at-risk students some of whom had situations where they had lost a parent due to illness which had affected their school performance. I look forward to helping elders so they can be healthy and have the opportunity to be as self sufficient as possible.

I enjoy building connections with people.

I have taken care of a non-smbulstory person with MS for 16 years. I also handled all the responsibilities of running a 2,400 sq ft house and grounds. I was a caregiver, builder, friend and a companion for Sharon Silveira.

Best caregiver with great experience
