About Gretel

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi! I'm Gretel, a compassionate and reliable caregiver with a nursing degree from the Philippines and 5 years of hands-on caregiving experience. I have provided care for patients with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, assisting with mobility, personal care, daily routines, and companionship. With my nursing background, I focus on safety, patience, and providing calm, supportive care. I am dedicated to making sure my clients feel respected, comfortable, and well cared for. I started caring for seniors in high school through a nursing home program in the Philippines, which inspired me to pursue a nursing degree. I later worked as a nurse and continued providing care after moving to the U. S. I now have several years of experience, including working with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's patients. Caring for seniors is very meaningful to me, and I am naturally patient and compassionate.

I highly recommend Gretel for anyone looking for in home senior care. My mon suffered from dementia and Gretel had incredible patience and genuine compassion even when times became very difficult. Having Gretel care for my my mom gave our family tremendous peace of mind. We were very grateful for her dedication to my mom’s care.
