Raquel C. Care Companion in Lawrence, MA 01841

I have my AS in early childhood education and worked as a preschool teacher, kindergarten aid then I worked for a total of 11 years as site manager for YWCA. It's there where I got most of my certifications including CPR&1st Aid, USDA, OSHA, Epi-Pens, 51A, Allergen Awareness and many more. After my daughter's passing 6 years ago, I went to school for mortuary make up and got my degree on Funeral Services. I found that I enjoy helping others in those types of needs so I do tfree lance pro-bono on special cases. I'm involved in a few other programs in the community. Abundance Ministry through my church, where I cook for the needy and serve meals at The Common Ground Cafe in Haverhill. I cook some Wednesdays for TMF in Lawrence. I am Bice President of UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ORGANIZATION whew attend funerals locally and offer our help to the families. I'm a member of DAY of Remembrance where we organize a yearly celebration of life for murdered victims of violence in Lawrence Massachusetts. I provide companionship and do house shores for an elderly woman on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a 7 year old son who goes to Saint Monica School and have a disabled 25 year old daughter who I care for on Sundays after church. I have tried doing uber one and other gigs to have extra income. I find that I work best carrying for others and I learned that it's also therapeutical for me. Losing my 18 year old daughter changed the way i see the world entirely and it's the reason I'm not behind a desk. I chose to make a difference in any way I am able. I'm grateful for life and I'm looking forward to working with all types of families in any ways possible.
