A calling that began in Brazil
My name is Ana Roberts, and caring for others has been part of who I am since I was a young girl.
My passion for healthcare began when I was just 12 years old in Brazil. From an early age, I felt drawn to medicine and to the responsibility of caring for people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Throughout my years in Brazil, I had the opportunity to experience different areas of healthcare, with a special connection to geriatric care. Caring for older adults has always felt deeply personal to me because, in many ways, it reminds me of caring for my own grandparents.
Building a life in the United States
At the age of 20, I first came to the United States, and I immediately fell in love with this country. Eventually, I made the decision to build my life here permanently. Along the way, I met my husband, a Major in the United States Air Force. Together, we have built our family and our life in Florida, and we are blessed with a beautiful daughter.
My journey in healthcare continued after moving to Florida. I attended Valencia College to expand my healthcare education and knowledge, and I gained experience working in different healthcare environments, including hospitals, nursing homes, and private in-home care.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for many individuals and families. Each person I have cared for has taught me something different about compassion, dignity, patience, resilience, and what it truly means to serve another human being.
Finding where my heart belongs
Eventually, I discovered that private geriatric care was where my heart truly belonged.
There is something very special about caring for older adults. These are people who have spent decades building families, working, serving others, raising children, and contributing to their communities. They carry a lifetime of wisdom and experiences. When they reach a point where they need additional support, I believe they deserve to receive that care with the same dignity, respect, patience, and love that they have given to others throughout their lives.
That belief became one of the foundations of Guardian Home Health Care.
Why I created Guardian
I created this company because I wanted to build something that represented the way I believe people should be cared for—with compassion, respect, dignity, professionalism, and genuine human connection.
For me, caregiving is not simply a job or a list of tasks. It is an opportunity to make someone’s day better, to provide reassurance to a family, to give an older adult a sense of independence and dignity, and to be present when someone needs another person by their side.
Family, faith and purpose
My faith is also an important part of who I am. I believe that my desire to care for others is a gift from God, and I want that purpose to be reflected in the way I serve my clients and their families. My husband and I share strong Christian values, and those values have helped shape the foundation of our family and the principles behind my work.
Continuing to learn
My passion for healthcare continues to grow beyond traditional caregiving as well. I have developed a strong interest in integrative health, holistic wellness, nutrition, and the connection between physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe that caring for a person means looking at the whole individual—not simply one symptom or one physical need.
As I continue growing professionally, I hope to expand my knowledge in these areas so that I can better understand how nutrition, healthy habits, lifestyle, and whole-person care can complement the support people receive throughout their lives.
These are Ana’s personal interests and future learning goals. Integrative medical services, diagnostic testing, supplementation and medication changes are not services offered through this website.
A journey that brought me here
Today, Guardian Home Health Care represents much more than a business to me.
It represents a journey that began with a little girl in Brazil who dreamed of working in healthcare, continued through years of education and hands-on experience, brought me to the United States, and ultimately led me to create a company built around something I have always loved: caring for people.
I have cared for many people throughout my journey, and every one of them has been part of the experience that brought me here.
My mission
To provide compassionate, dependable, dignified care while treating every client as an individual and every family with the respect they deserve.
I believe that growing older should never mean losing dignity, independence, or the feeling of being valued.
And I believe that sometimes the greatest difference we can make in someone’s life is simply being there—with knowledge, compassion, patience, and a caring heart.
That is why I founded Guardian Home Health Care. Because caring for people is not just what I do. It is my purpose.
