About Elvira

I am an experienced caregiver/home health aide with over 30 years being in the nursing field. I have gained so much knowledge with regards to patient care, and I honestly feel that caregiving is a very rewarding job. I always find myself creating lasting relationships with the people I care for; not just with those under my direct care, but also with their families as well. I went into caregiving because I find this is where my comfort is, and I always value and cherish the jobs that I am hired to do.
