He seems strict but to make sure his kids have good discipline and have a great future. They both love to dedicate their all to their kids. Her daughter Kelly is now working for a Foster Care facility as a social worker and going for her Master’s degree. Her son Cristian is a Marine and has one more year to finish schooling at his University and her youngest, Andrew, is in his second year of high school. Her family is very united, whatever problem they have they resolve it as a family. The three of them are living with Enedina still. She loves to cook for them, she makes sure to have a meal done before she goes to work. During a period of time, her husband was left without work. So she went to apply as housekeeper but the only position was caregiver. She took the job and has been here ever since. Enedina has been working here at the Villas for about three and a half years. She loves to work here, saying she feels at home when she is here. Caring for the residents feels to her as if she is taking care of her family. She loves to help the residents with their needs.

October 2020 Employee of the Month

Gigi Rodriguez

here at the Villas. She was born in Seattle but grew up in San Clemente. She was born on December 7th, 1998. “My horoscope is Sagittarius which describes me exactly as I am.” She loves to dance; we have seen her dance moves in our employee Christmas parties. Gigi says she also loves to travel. She says she hasn’t been to many places but loves Seattle, she loves California and to visit TeacalcoMorelos,Mexico where her dad is from. She is the oldest of eight siblings. She loves to take care of them, taking them to get food, desserts, the beach, or places they like. She prefers the pools over the beach, “which is funny because I live in California”. In high school she worked with disabled kids since her brother Hector had a disability. He is now gone but forever cherished. Working with disabled kids helped her get a better understanding of how to care for her brother while he was with her. Later after high school in Seattle, she studied to be a Phlebotomist. She later moved when she was about 19 years out of her dad's place and loves living with roommates. “It showed me to be more independent, to do things on my own, and value myself. My role model was grandmother Elena because she was so independent.” Her grandmother was a widow, she had nine kids and raised them all herself. When her parents divorced, her grandmother stepped in and raised Gigi and her brother until she was about 13 years old and moved in with her dad. She would take them to school every single day while she was a Nanny to some of the kids that she went to school with. On the side she would sell tamales and quesadillas. Gigi has been working here since February 2019. She says she loves it because she loves her grandma, so she treats the residents as if she was taking care of her grandma. This place has helped Gigi to learn more about residential care and how to deal with dementia. Her grandmother is at the beginning stages of dementia so it’s helped her educate the family. “Working here we realize that it’s the little things that matter.” She started working here because her best friend Rosa worked in residential care for three years and they both live down the street. She says she loves the environment here and the coworkers. “It is like a big family. You get to see so many personalities.”We are so happy to have you, Gigi, as part of our staff!
