About Irene
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have been a CNA/GNA for over 10 years. I worked with cancer patients, Alzheimer's patients, and normal aging people. My passion for taking care of the seniors started when I was taking care of my mother who passed away in 2003. Her appreciation and comments made me to keep on what I was doing even before then. I am also a good driver, cook, light house keeper. I comfort my clients, talk to them, watch their favorite shows with them. My last case was in Bethesda, MD. My last client had cancer. I worked for her for 4 years. I was her driver, friend, and confidant. She loved me, and trusted me. I loved her, and her family treasured me. That's what I can say about myself in short.

My husband and I are good friends of a senior that Irene cared for during her last years of life. We visited regularly spending a day with our friend and Irene each time. As our friend became more needy over time we observed as Irene cared for and adjusted to our friend's needs. My husband has been a registered nurse working in a large hospital for the last 30 years. He was very impressed with the quality of care Irene gave as she responded to each day's needs. Irene is hard working, kind, positive and communicates well. She has a wealth of experience and can identify problems clearly making sure the family understands her concerns as they arise. She is a happy personality and enjoys and accepts others unconditionally. Irene can also set boundaries as needed for the health and safety of her client in a positive fashion. Irene is happy to help out with cleaning up as time permits. She is a gem!
