I have always had an interest in the Healthcare field, mostly in Dentalcare. I had previously gone to school for Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene, but stopped to start a family. I am presently married with two boys and live in Mullica Township. My journey in the Home Healthcare Field started about five years ago when we took in my elderly grandmother. She was battling Alzheimer's Disease and was unable to live on her own. She stayed with us for over six months before she eventually had to go into a nursing home. During that time we learned a lot about my grandmother as well as the awful disease that was affecting her. It was after she left us that a friend of mine told me about a Home Healthcare Agency in the area. I started out as a "companion" where I would cook, clean and drive my clients around. I wanted to go further in my career and went back to school to be a CNA. I truly love my job and have become very close with my clients. I like to listen to their stories and feel like I am making a difference in their lives. I am presently working for two Homecare Companies, but would like to work on my own. I have been awarded the GRACE award from one of the agencies. This award is given to a caregiver who exemplifies compassion, caring, empathy, respect, good attitude and going above and beyond the call of duty.
