About Irene

I am an English r.n. and nursing is my passion. I am too old to qualify in Mesa so I took a CNA course in Az to allow me to work here. I worked for Grace Hospice here for a short time, but then my daughter had cancer so I went back to the UK for two years. I arrived back here on December 17th 2014, and am longing to work again. I live in Mesa and I need to work for financial reasons, but mainly because I love my job.

    Lets begin with a conversation to explore the fit. I have hands to work and a heart to serve. If you’re seeking someone to trust in your search for a caregiver, it's important to find someone with enough knowledge and experience to give quality care. But, also seek someone with a heart for care and service. I derive great personal satisfaction from helping seniors. I am patient enough to listen and respect what is important to patients and families. I maintain as much modesty and dignity as possible. Overall, I'm seeking to build confidence and trusting relationships that will enrich both our lives.
