I became a caregiver in my forties when I was asked to take care of an elderly who had MS . In the beginning, I was overwhelmed but as I took on the job, I discovered that it comes to me naturally and I just get the sense of what the client needs and I can usually anticipate it . As a result, I knew that this is what I love to do, to serve people in need. Physically, mentally and emotionally and I try to address all that with my love of cooking healthy meals, my creativity with what the client need and enjoy to give them a quality of life and dignity that everyone deserves. One of my merit is the good energy I bring into the environment since that is what my clients family always tell me. Armed with a lot of common sense and creativity, I manage to produce results in any situation that comes up. I'm proud of the fact that the family of my clients, still reach out to me and become my friends long after I have done my services with their love ones.
