About JoEllen

I come from a big Family. I had always wanted to take care of people. I have been in Healthcare as well in the beauty industry. I love caring and making people look and feel better for themselves. I grew up at the Grand Canyon. Worked at the one and only Clinic, from there to Pediatrics and other Health Facilities. My love and compassion is to do better everyday! Life is precious!! I currently stay home and care for my Husband who is a Quadriplegic and recently had his right leg amputated. My life has forever changed since 2014 when he came into my life. He is an amazing soul! I have three amazing daughters blessed with great careers! I have four awesome beautiful Grandkids! I miss being outdoors due to my Husbands situation but in time we will get to do more. Personal Achievement I am very proud of what I have accomplished in life. I did not complete HS however growing up in a very small town, Grand Canyon I was blessed to have people that knew me and my work ethics. My beliefs and what kind of person I was! I believe you can learn and do anything you want! Currently people I work closely with are my Husband's Dr's. Our Home Health nurses. They will provide any information what I do daily to care for my Husband. He is the love of my life . I quit working to take care of him 24-7. I have been trained by the best! Also having a daughter who is an RN. My Mother was a saint! She passed 2017 a day before her 93rd Birthday. My Dad, my siblings we all took turns to take care of our Mom. She took care of so many in her days. She taught us the true meaning of Care giving. Love, compassion and understanding. But most of all patience and her Faith in God. My days with my Husband are challenging at times but also very rewarding. I would not change it for the World. He's taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Living with a Quadriplegic, his spirit, his perseverance and strength I can go on.
