About Kimberly

I am caring, compassionate, and believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. I became a caregiver because I saw how my great grandmother was treated upon being placed in a nursing home when I was only 14yrs old. I didn't like hearing her say that no one cared. I would spend my spare time at the nursing home visiting her and soon became the go to hairstylists for several of the residents. It was something that stuck with into my adult years. When my children started school, I became a CNA, I stumbled upon the greatest job I could ever have when I was hired as an Hospice Nursing Assistant. I believe it takes a certain type of person to do such a hard but very much needed job in this world. I am proud to say that I am just that person.
