About Jennifer

I am a mother of 4, almost all grown. I became a caregiver for seniors 4 years ago. I fell in love with my job and was promoted very quickly to a coordinator and then a director. I obtained my Assisted Living Administrators License in 2017. I missed the hands on care though, and was on call 24/7/365 to staff for call offs. I was working 60+ hours weekly. The residents were my heart and soul, they were all like my own family, but staff issues made me no longer enjoy working in the office environment. I would like to get back to hands on care and make a difference in someone's life. My goal is to be able to help a family so that they can enjoy the time they have with their loved one and I can help take some of the day to day needs off the family so that they can focus on spending quality time with their loved one.
