About Teresa

I I am a mother of 4 and a grandmother of four. I started taking care of children at 16 years old at a daycare center. I decided then and there that I love taking care of people. I'm very nurturing and kind-hearted I have more patience than the average person. After having children I decided I did not want anyone else to take care of them so I stayed in the daycare profession up until 2006. After leaving a job of assistant directing and Pre-K teacher for 17 years I decided I wanted to take care of the elderly. That is when I fell on the perfect job taking care of an elderly man that was very rough around the edges but something about him was calming. I do not have all the fancy degrees and diplomas like some people but I have basically grandfathered myself in to be and who I am. I'm very dedicated to my job and who I take care of.

    Experience & Education

    Caregiver

    Jun 2007 - Jun 2013
    Self employed
    For the last 10 years I work for myself. I was a private caregiver for Francis Disiere out of Southlake from June 2007 to June 2013. I became more than a caregiver for Mr D in the six years we were together. I was more like his personal assistant I did his housekeeping I assisted him and many tasks. I assisted him in dressing showering taking him to doctor's visits and other outings. I traveled with him on several occasions out of the state on personal business matters. Over the years I became very close with Mr D and his family. After Mr.D passed away in 2013 I am still in contact with his son and daughter daughter-in-law. Which is David and Teresa disiere.
