I have served the community of Los Alamos White Rock and Santa Fe and espanola for 35 years I am CNA certified through the state of New Mexico! Expertise Range in Motion exercise with upper and lower extremities!! And also am a Med Tech !! I have lots of patience and respect I have love patience and understanding for my elders !!

I have always been compassionate/passionate/energetic for the elderly, for as long as I can remember. In high school, I was afforded the opportunity to go to a vocational school and obtain a certificate as a Nursing Aide Orderly. Now termed; CNA. Following graduation, I went to work in a Nursing Home. I loved all of the residents. Often visiting them on my days off, doing hair, nails, whatever the ladies desired, as well as bringing treats to the people that were able to eat them. Always cautious of the diabetics. After being a stay at home mother raising 3 daughters and bookkeeper for my husband's company, I decided to go back and do what I love most. Since November, 2008, I have been fortunate enough to care for an extraordinary person, as well as caring for my terminally ill sister from Aug 2012 until she passed Aug 2013. Since Dec. of 2013, I have been caring for the greatest people to date. Beautiful Indian woman who unfortunately had a stroke at an early age. As much as I love them, she will soon be traveling to India for an undetermined length of time. I look forward to my next opportunity and another family to love. I have been very proud of all of my achievements. If I have to narrow it down it would be my last client. July of 2015. In the 6 months that I got to care for this very special lady, I saw a 180 improvement. We still talk everyday. Very proud of her.

It feels highly rewarding knowing you're changing the life of those in need of assistance. My passion for this started after the passing of my dad, I wished I could've done more to help him in the stages he needed to gain in-dependability to get better. Later my grandpa was admitted into hospice care and I had the chance to care for him everyday. After, it sparked the idea to get back to school and follow a path I was really passionate about. I began to go to school for nursing assistance. I then accepted a training position where I had 100+ hours of training. Caring for the elderly gives you a lot of great perspective. While working with this demographic, you begin to really value your time with them. The mutual respect that you can develop with the aging population is truly special.
