About Iris

I wanted to become a caregiver because I saw the way my grandmother was treated and was determent not to let that happen to someone else. What I like the most is the connection between me and the person I'm caring for, I value that they put their life in my hands and I will always be there for them. My most personal achievement that I am proud of are my children. I am a single mother of 3 beautiful children. My oldest son is autistic and I was also a middle school teacher at a school for autistic children so I have plenty of experience with special needs. I was also my grandmothers caretaker for awhile and I'm certified in care of dementia and related disorder patients
