Hello, My name is Lupe, I am proud mother of eight beautiful children and five high school graduates. I am a very compassionate, patient and understanding individual. I decided to start working as a Caregiver because of my nana. I took care of my nana for multiple years and enjoyed every minute while she was with us. What I enjoy most of being a Caregiver and working in the Medical Field is the chance I get to making a positive impact in the lives of others. I will be looking forward on continuing growth and working in the Health Industry as a future Physician Assistant. Thank you, regards Lupe Grajeda

Long time professional caregiver experienced in a wide range of daily needs.

After caring for my Grandfather for somtime before he passed, I decided that caregiving was what I wanted to do as a career. I have a sincere passion for the elderly and find it very rewarding to work with them. I have over 10 years as a Certified Nurse Asst. and home healthcare provider and extensive experience with Alzheimer patients and Hospice care. I am reliable, caring, a Navy Veteran, Christian and dedicated to providing the best care and comfort possible to my clients.

Hi, my name is Monica. I am originally from Oregon but after my high school graduation I went to Idaho on a full ride scholarship to Boise Bible College where I studied Intercultural Studies. I am now pursuing my Nursing degree so that one day I may become a medical missionary. My husband and I just moved to New Mexico to slow down and work hard toward our future. I decided to become a caregiver because my grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's a few years back but with much help from caregivers he was able to live out his last years in his home with my grandmother at his side. I have worked with geriatric, bariatric, dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's patients. I have mostly worked in rehab and long term facilities but doing so has taught me many skills. I have learned how to properly care for my residents while showing them kindness, warmth, and friendship. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time.

Hi my name is Alisha Garcia, I am 23 years old and I am currently pursuing my bachelors degree in nursing. I have always enjoyed caring for others and have wanted to become a nurse for as along as I can remember. I am very patient, compassionate, and empathetic. I will always do my very best to make sure your loved one receives the care that they deserve. I have worked in an assisted living home and have been a home health aide, so I have experience working with many different conditions. I have my nursing assistant license, and I am also CPR certified.

My first experience as a caregiver came just after high school when I was hired as a nurse aide at the Med Unit at El Castillo Retirement Community in Santa Fe, NM, where I cared for the elderly that were needing more than normal care. I did this for the Summer before college. It gave me a sense of pride in caring for these vulnerable seniors. I did everything required of me from diaper changes, to tube feedings, grooming, changing clothes, toileting, companionship, blood pressure readings, etc. Years later, I helped with the caregiving for my grandma of 96-years. I helped take her to the hairdresser every Friday, did the shopping and helped her bathe, and comb. I helped her brush her dentures. I eventually helped her to transfer her to the commode and back to her chair, and back to her recliner. I was mainly there from about 4:30 pm until about 8:30am once a week. She was an amazing person, right up to the end. My next caregiving task was brief, but very enlightening. I would become a companion for an aunt who developed dementia/Alzheimer's and progressed rather rapidly and although an effort was made to have her at home, she too, became a resident at Sierra Vista for memory care. I attended an Alzheimer's class (an overview) at that time. Witnessing her progression was very hard, but also experiential. About 3 years ago, I attended an Alzheimer Caregiver course (lengthy, about 6-8 sessions if I remember correctly). This was due to my Dad having dementia that was progressing. His progression has been somewhat slow, and he is mostly being helped (meals, hygiene, companionship, etc.) by other family members. I find fulfilment in caregiving. I am touched by the person(s) I care for, and I hope also to touch theirs also!

Very patient, understanding to the persons needs . Able to help and teach them to do alit first themselves also. To sit and talk and get trust and understanding. Being able to have or become a friend and for the client to know I can help them and be there for them. What I know in myself that God has blessed me to have a heart and humbleness to care for people of need and understanding

I feel that I am a great caregiver because I enjoy helping those in need I have patience I am very dependable and always open to learn new skills

I have been a caregiver for year's. It is one of the most rewarding jobs I have had along with working as a floral designer for a non profit org. Called flowers for life. I would take flowers 2 elderly in nursing homes that didn't have anyone that came 2 see them. My last caretaking job was for Martha and Red fisher. Martha had terminal cancer, and Red had Alzheimer's. I was with them for a year before Martha passed and Red moved out of state 2 live with his son. I still write him once a week. Hopefully its a good day that he remembers me!
