About Me
Hello, my name is Gretchen. I’m 34 years old, originally from the Philippines, and I have been working here in Israel as a dedicated caregiver for over three years and two months. During this time, I have gained valuable experience caring for an elderly woman with multiple complex health conditions, including colon cancer, dementia, heart issues, balance difficulties, diabetes, high blood pressure, and post-operative needs. In addition to providing daily personal care, I have also become skilled in using medical equipment such as lifters and mobility aids for individuals who are unable to walk. I always handle these responsibilities with the utmost care and professionalism. On a personal level, I consider myself a very simple and dependable person. I am compassionate, empathetic, kind, respectful, and trustworthy. I bring a great deal of patience to my work and genuinely enjoy supporting and caring for elderly individuals. I treat those under my care as I would treat my own parents—with tenderness, love, and dignity. What sets me apart is my naturally cheerful personality. I try to bring lightness and joy to those around me, believing that emotional well-being is just as important as physical health. I always aim to create a warm, positive, and nurturing environment. Lastly, I take my responsibilities very seriously and always pay close attention to the needs and preferences of both the person I am caring for and their family. It is my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
