About Angela

I'm am a caregiver with 26 years of healthcare experience have worked with all types of patients such as geriatric, pediatric, terminally ill, head injuryand spinal cord, Alzheimer's and dementia,mentally challenged, and behavior patients. I believe I am a great caregiver because I take care of my patients as if they were my own family member. I give them the up most respect. I do all I can to make the quality of life the best it can be. I became a care giver because it's my nature a gift from God to take care of others. I have always done it even from a little girl. I love what I do. I like being a caregiver because I love making sure I can put a smile on my patients face that's doing through a though time. I make sure they are ok best I can in every area of being cared for. Making sure they Candis as much for them selves as possible then I step in. A personal achievement forme is when I have worked rehabilitation with head injury and spinal cord. I have taken care of patients that couldn't do much for themselves such as walk, talk, bath,cook, make bed, feed themselves and more. I have worked hard with my patients and by time of discharge to go home they were able to do all or some of the things for themselves. I enjoy the smiles,hugs, and thank you's. This is my reward.
