About Zafeiro D.
I previously enjoyed a successful career in the media industry, but my life took a significant turn seven years ago when my husband suffered a stroke. I became his full-time caregiver, dedicating myself to his care around the clock for nearly six months until his passing. This profound experience not only reshaped my life but also inspired me to pursue a meaningful career in care.
I am an easy-going, optimistic, and resilient individual with a deep passion for helping others. My personal journey has given me a unique perspective and a strong commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care.
