Summary
I am a caring, compassionate, and responsible individual with a strong commitment to providing quality aged care so that the elderly can live with maximum dignity, comfort, and independence. I am 35 years old and a mother of a 6-year-old boy. I submerge myself in self-improvement! I love to grow and learn new things, and every day begins with a question: "How do I create opportunities today to make my life more challenging and enjoyable?"
Back in my country, the Philippines, I worked at a community elderly care facility and looked after my two elderly grandmothers, one who has Alzheimer's disease and one who is bedridden.
