About Patricia

After helping take care of my oldest sister before she passed away I found that it is very rewarding to assist those who need help with daily needs. I enjoy getting to know the person I am taking care of; their background and life experiences. Learning from them is always fun. I love to motivate people; I had a client who would separate himself from the group, after finding out some of his interest I was able to get him to engage and socialize with others. I am self motivated and always do not only what is necessary to take care of my clients but to go that extra step to make them feel special and cared for.

    *As a caregiver, I am unconditionally loving, caring, humble, sincere, dedicated and like to offer my clients extra care and attention through tender nurturing. *I have always loved to care for people, especially the elderly, whom I particularly respect and hold in high esteem. *My greatest joy as a caregiver is to see my clients happy with a smile on their faces and to know that they are comfortable at all times. *One of my greatest achievement as a caregiver is working with clients that have been deemed to die in less than a year or so and as I move into the job with no expectations, I work hard to care, nurture, and love them, only to see them live another 10 years or more.
