I’m wouldn't consider myself to be just a care companion; I would be a steady presence, a listening ear, and someone who treats every person with dignity and kindness. In the past, families have described me as dependable, understanding, and genuinely invested in the well-being of those I care for. My mission is simple: to make each day brighter, safer, and more joyful. I am fluent in English and conversational Spanish. I am open to both short-term and long-term arrangements.
