About Rene

Since early childhood I knew I wanted to be helpful to those requiring care, transportation and companionship which I have done as an Emergency Medical Provider, Cardiology Technologist, Ward Attendant, Operating Room Technician and other roles I found placing a distance between the patients and I. Then a yearning to return to the patient side, remain at the grass roots level and know them as more than just a patient or client developed. Providing care at the end of life, hospice and palliative care as a member of an interdisciplinary team has allowed me to do that albeit so often a short time. These and other care giving roles both by assignment and private duty on my own have allowed for the benefit of incredible wisdom they have to share. Even those younger than I would often either rekindle an old life lesson or some such experience I had learned from and simply placed somewhere out of the way. Even a surprisingly new and often profound lesson or knowledge that in all my years I hadn't already known or been privy to would be realized. I am truly proud to have taken the knowledge and experience gained back to patients, co-workers, peers as well as other upper echelon staff. My ability to have mentored countless others either entering or developing themselves in chosen careers has been a greatly fulfilling addition to my personal growth and development. Sharing what knowledge and experience one has to offer others including family members is an especially rewarding part of caregiving.

    I started out caregiving when I took care of my grandmother and that was in 1986, she had pancreatic cancer she was such a trooper. To make my patients feel comfortable is number one whether a smile or running errands, doctors appointments, and always make them feel secure and respected In their life. I love to make them feel comfortable. My personal achievement is to make them happy and comfortable, to be that ear and listen to their stories. I feel that companionship is very important! I am a caring person and I also speak Spanish, Family oriented.

    About I am a mature, physically strong, dependable, and compassionate Pacific Islander, who love being a caregiver. Over the years, I"ve learnt and gained useful information, experience and valuable skill from great caregivers, nurses, physical therapists, doctors and even from the recipients of my care and have utilized them in my work to be the caregiver that I am today. So, I'm able to comfortably provide the care needs in any phase and setting of caring for the elderly and disabled. My experience range from companionship to total care, where I assist my client with all activity of daily living. I know that the best care to provide to anyone is the kind that you would want for your own..... and using common sense is always a plus. I am familiar with most equipment in home care. I am open minded, and also, a team player who is willing to learn and even go the extra mile to maintain the quality of life and ensure safety of your loved ones.@ their home, the place of their greatest comfort.
