Teresa, the founder, has traveled around the world, encountering people from different backgrounds, cultures and social levels. Beyond travel, she has lived for extended periods of time in several other countries including Australia, Canada, China, Argentina, and Pakistan.
As a “Citizen of the World” she speaks several different languages and always tries to understand, respect, and empower people from different cultures, ages and backgrounds. Over the course of her career, she has worked in a wide variety of fields in roles that prove the true range of her talents.
Most recently in her journey, Teresa found her true calling when she arrived in Southwest Florida. The fact that her parents were getting old inspired her to take a special interest in the elderly.
Since then, Teresa has been taking care of the elderly in need of companionship, daily living activities, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s. She has worked in a variety of settings, from retirement homes, hospice care, independent and assisted living facilities. Her interest is in nurturing people’s bodies, hearts, and souls. This work is not just a job; it defines who she is.
It is a fact of life that aging brings limitations. Teresa understands the challenges people face and cheerfully encourages them to live the best life they can. She has a real gift for bringing out the best in people. She is very patient, understanding, non-judgmental, and encouraging.
Her mission is to make the world a better place through each person that she cares for and shares her joy in living with.
