Angel Cortijo, Talent Specialist

Nobody ever knew this until now. I read this quote about eight years ago, and this became a part of who I am today. “It is so important as a caregiver not become so enmeshed in the role that you lose yourself. It’s neither good for you nor your loved one.”– Dana Reeve

I became a C.N.A. in 2009 in Peekskill, NY and have taken care of people ever since.   I worked with various populations but my heart is with the people who are in need of that personal care with a touch of TLC. Here at Assisting Hands Home Care is where I learned and still learn all about home care in a different setting. My goal and focus is to push the mission statement through for Assisting Hands Home Care.  Being with the company I have transitioned from Caregiver to Talent Specialist. As a Talent Specialist I can bring in the new caregivers that share the same vision as Assisting Hands Home Care. Whatever I can do to bridge Client and Caregiver together I’m there.

Angel’s interest and hobbies include enjoying life and putting smiles on people’s faces. I am a homebody and love gardening something I recently have gotten into. All around nice guy.

He is fluent in English and Spanish.
