I was an obstetrical nurse in my country and worked as a physician assistant for almost 8 years. On my days off, I would help unfortunate elderly people that needs care for free. I immigrated to the US in 2006. My passion is caregiving, so I took nursing assistant course to enhance my skills. I worked in the hospital, took care people with disabilities and as a home health aide in Hawaii for 13 years. I'm proud of myself that, I was able to take care of my grandparents who had dementia and my mom who had a stroke. I have skills in Psychology that I could apply to render an excellent care to the person who needs my care and friendship.

What makes me a Great Care giver, is my huge heart and personal ability to empathize and be compassionate w my clients. I know nobody wishes to be sick or ailing, so I always try to bring a little sunshine into they're lives, and let them feel a sense of unity and belonging. I try to leave my clients in a better state of mind, than before I got there. I became care giver; because in a pretty dark part of my past, someone very close to me ended up being stabbed 8x. And I was so scared, that I didn't even know what to begin to do. So it was then,that i decided to get into the healthcare field, educate myself, so that I would never find myself in a situation like that again. I love so much about working as a care giver, where should I start?... First off, the fulfillment of actually being able to help someone, hands-on, is very self-gratifying for me. Also knowing that I may make someone's life a little less stressful or painful, just by being able bodied enough to assist them in day to day needs, means a lot for me. But being able to touch someone's life, by sharing a piece of my love, kindness, and understanding w a individual or family, as well as imprinting a piece of myself within them, is probably the BEST reward out of it all. I believe God will place us into certain people's life's at just the right time. When it is most needed. That we may embark on a journey of strength and hopefully healing together. I know in my Heart of Hearts, that being able to offer my help, assistance, or relief to someone or a family in dire need of it, is truly where I need to be. I need to be helping people.... One person at a time. God Bless. I look forward in hearing from you. 😀 Stay Safe.
