Zenayda Bonilla was born in El Salvador and has been part of Golden Steps Elder Care Cooperative for two years.
Golden Steps Elder Care Cooperative
I came to this work after caring for my grandmother who had Alzheimer’s and my father who died of cancer. This work requires a person who loves working with seniors. It requires patience, compassion, being able to listen, and being able to empathize deeply, to understand and care for our clients What I enjoy most about being part of Golden Steps is working in a group and feeling enriched as a person, and of course offering services to seniors. I’ve grown in my abilities through the support of training provided to members. I enjoy the cultural exchange and sharing cultural roots.
