About
Hello! I’m Jacqueline
RN, BSN, CFCS, GERO-BC
All those letters are milestones in my pursuit to improve the care for older adults and their caregivers. But what do they all mean? Here we go – Registered Nurse, Bachelors of Science in Nursing (in Public Health too!), Certified Foot Care Specialist and Gerontological Nursing Board Certified.
SO WHY OLDER ADULTS?
As a small child, I would tag along as my French-Basque grandmother brought holy communion to the home bound. She would often say the word “dementia” and I thought she was speaking French! Her reverence with frail older adults truly imprinted on me.
Through my education and various professional roles, I have seen the beautiful highs and severe lows older adults and their caregivers face. My mission is to close the gaps of knowledge between hospital care and home care. Your Nurse For Today is an accessible research-backed resource. Please use this site as a tool to feel informed and empowered to advocate for yourself or a loved one. Because healthy aging, takes a village.

get to know me
THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS…
- Baseball games and beach days with my family of 5
- Having older adults share their backstories while I provide foot care
- Singing and dancing to cultural music (I am half-Basque and half Dominican!)
- Travel! I backpacked Europe for my 4-month honeymoon and have officially visited 20 countries!
- Scouring town for the best croissant!
what they’re saying
Kind words from My patients
Jacqueline – a mobile foot care specialist – regularly visits our elderly friend who suffers from dementia to treat and soothe his troubled feet. She does this pro bono. She takes time to listen to her patients, learn their story and embrace the wisdom they share… and also embraces the caregiver, who are often in the shadows, looks out for their needs as well. Everyone that meets her quickly falls in love. Jacqueline an angel in disguise to so many.
My father was so pleased with the care Jacqueline provided to him (for his feet). He waltzed up to the front desk secretary of his nursing home singing her praises. Thank you for your service, especially because you gave it with such kindness.
