With a deep-rooted passion for nurturing and supporting others, my journey began as a kindergarten teacher. This role allowed me to form lasting connections with children and their families. As a mother, I became an active volunteer in my daughter’s school community, extensively supporting teachers, and offering help to young working parents by creating a welcoming environment in our home after school where their children felt safe and cared for. I am honored that many of my daughter’s friends still affectionately refer to me as "mom." For many years, I also had the privilege of serving as a caregiver for my elderly father, which deepened my compassion, patience, and adaptability. These experiences, along with my multicultural background and multidisciplinary professional path, have equipped me with a unique ability to understand and adapt to various roles and family dynamics. Life has led me through various career paths, yet my dedication to Read more supporting families and providing emotional support has remained at the heart of my journey. Now, I am returning to my calling, providing not only care and practical assistance but also genuine emotional support. I wish you success in finding the ideal caregiver, and I look forward to the possibility of working with your family, bringing a foundation of trust, compassion, and genuine care to your precious ones. Note: The Q&A format tends to be generalized, for instance I am comfortable with friendly dogs, but I do not have the same comfort level with cats. Etc. It is also important to acknowledge that each individual has unique circumstances that warrant specific consideration, and there should always be room for negotiations to create a comfortable working relationship.
