About Ascenza

I became a caregiver to help people improve the quality of their lives and maintain their dignity during their recuperation. Being a caregiver is very enjoyable and satisfying for me. I especially enjoy hearing about others' personal histories and accomplishments. One of my proudest achievements was the completion of my LPN training and earning my LPN License. I had studied hard during my classes and did a lot of preparation for the test. I did so well, that I passed it on my first try! In my earlier career as a floral designer, I was proud to earn the trust of the floral shop owners within 6 months so that they let me manage their shop. I also earned an award in FTD's Christmas Door Decorating contest. I enjoy arts and crafts, especially, creative sewing, painting and floral design.

I became a caregiver since the year 2000 after I graduated from Classic Nurses Academy and took my board Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA) licensure examination . Naturally, I'm compassionate , trustworthy, reliable, punctual on assignments , dedicated and above all very patience, I also love to make a difference in the life of others and put smiles on their faces, with that aspect of motivation in mind , I also helps the elderly at the volunteer food distribution in my community with whatever problems and needs that they may have. WORKING EXPERIENCE : I started working for Maxim Healthcare in January 2000. Through that, I connected with one of my clients who had Parkinson's disease. I worked with this client for a while until his children decided to hire me as a private caregiver and moved me with the client from Virginia to Colorado, because the children wanted their father to be closer to them. I took care of this client until he passed away. I returned back to Virginia after his death and started another work with Care Options in 2002. I have dealt with many clients with different needs and disabilities for the past eighteen years . PRIVATE CARE: I have being providing private care for as many as 35 to 40 different clients and families within Virginia and Maryland.
