Hello! My name is Raquel and I have been serving as a Home Caregiver for 10 years My experience includes working with clients that suffer from Alzheimer's and Dementia. Overall, no matter the medical conditions they may have, my clients have needed someone to step in to aid with activities of daily living, getting to and from appointments, running errands, and for companionship. If anyone is looking for an experienced and patient in home caregiver for your loved one, I'd love to meet or communicate with you and discuss your needs. I have several letters of recommendation available for potential clients.
I have had a nice experience living in the Oak Cliff area. It is a very friendly area to be in. The Bishop Arts District is a great place to go for shopping and dining. Very friendly people are always there.
It's convenient to everything, it's alot of social outting most of them are free.
Cost of living is high, everything is not wheel-chair/ handicap acceptable
I am a hard worker I love making others happy and get in the job done
