About Monica

What makes me a good caregiver is the fact that I was a nurse for forty years. I love working with people of all ages and all ethnicities. I am now retired. But I'm looking for work in a field I am experienced in; to supplement my income. I have also worked as a nurse consultant in a group home for mentally and physically handicapped patients. I have worked as a nurse in a jail and a prison caring for sick, drug addicted and mentally ill prisoners. I worked ten years as a EMT on the DC Fire department. I greatly improved my emergency skills as a nurse/EMT. I retired in 2014. Now I prefer to work one on one.

I enjoy working with people and I most enjoy jobs where I have one-on-one interaction with others. I enjoyed taking care of my elder family members and would like to help others in this way. I like older adults and feel I can get along well with a variety of elders. I like doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. I like doing a variety of tasks in a day. I don't ever say, "That's not my job" but instead like pitching in to do whatever is needed. I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. I take pride in attending to detail.
