About Andrea

I'm a great caregiver because I enjoy what I do. I love helping and taking care of others. I'm detailed oriented, cooperative and compassionate. I'm assertive and willing to advocate for my clients to ensure they get the care they need. I've been in this field since 2014 I grew up helping my aunt with daily living task such as ironing her clothes, preparing her medication, fixing her lunch and checking her sugar. Same for my dad medication reminders, ironing his clothes, fixing his lunch/dinner and this is what attracted me to being a caregiver. I enjoy seeing my clients happy and trusting that I will do the job I was hired for. I also enjoy making those connections with my clients and their families it really feel good when they know they're in good hands and I'm there to help not harm them. It's a rewarding field and you meet some wonderful people and build meaningful memories and I think that's what matter the most.

I am a very reliable and friendly caregiver, I love to care for people young,old,disability, handicapped. It's doesn't become just a Job for me, but to see a smile on person face says it all for me. I enjoy caring for the elderly or people's needs because one day I might be in their shoe so I treat everyone how I would want to be treated, which is with respect, being honest, caring , trusting me to care for them. From my experience I've heard a lot of people tell me that I'm very patient and loving. I always look forward to seeing every client home I go to and they look forward to seeing me and that warm friendly smile I gave them
