About Andrea

I became a caregiver when I started to look after my mother. It was an incredibly rewarding experience. I would like to help others do the same as I know that it takes a lot of time and patience that many people do not have. I am very organized and that helps to keep things orderly and in a good routine for a patient. I enjoy spending time chatting and keeping patients company as I know they are often isolated by their frailties. Being a caregiver for my mother is a personal achievement that I am very proud of and I think I can help other families and patients in their quest for great care. I have also completed a complete course in CNA training.
