My name is Grecia, but you can call me Grace. I'm a patient, understanding, and resilient person. I have 6+ years working in healthcare, including private EMS, nursing home, and private caregiver. Working with seniors is my joy and comfort, knowing I'm able to provide the best care I know how.

Our family would wholeheartedly recommend Grace as a caregiver. Grace cared for our mother for three years until she passed away in September 2024. Our mother suffered from Alzheimer’s dementia as well as blindness caused by Macular Degeneration and Glaucoma. Throughout this difficult journey, Grace was more than just a caregiver—she became a cherished member of our family. From the very beginning, it was evident that Grace approached her role with compassion, dedication, and a genuine love for taking care of people. She treated our mother as if she were her own, going above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable, safe, and happy. Grace took pride in every little bit of spoiling she could provide, whether it was preparing my mother’s favorite meals, styling her hair just the way she liked it, or simply holding her hand when words were no longer enough. Grace's impact extended far beyond the practical aspects of care. She was a constant source of companionship and support, not only for my mother but for our entire family. She was there for the laughs and the tears, through the easy days and the difficult transitions. Grace's patience, empathy, and unwavering kindness helped us navigate moments of joy and pain alike. Even during times of disagreement or uncertainty, Grace maintained her professionalism, offering her insights with “grace” and understanding. Her presence brought comfort to us all. In the final stages of our mother's life, Grace was there, offering care that was filled with tenderness and dignity. She became a true friend, someone we could rely on and trust implicitly. Her support and compassion made an immeasurable difference in my mother's life, and in ours, and we will always be grateful for the love and care she provided. Grace's ability to balance the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of caregiving is truly extraordinary. She is someone who brings not just experience and skill, but also a profound sense of humanity to her work. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any role that involves care, companionship, and support. Anyone would be incredibly fortunate to have Grace as part of their care team.
