After being a caregiver for so many years I can honestly say I love what I do! I love being a part of team! I have lots of glowing references . I enjoy taking care of others and have been that way my whole life. It brings me joy to know I made a difference for someone.I would love to have the chance to give excellent care for yourself or loved one. I am reliable, friendly and have extensive knowledge in dementia, cancer patients, MS , behavioral disorders, stroke, after surgery care, and hospice care. I look forward to meeting you!

Evidation I am a naturally caring person. I believe people who are unable to care for themselves should be made to feel as comfortable as possible without pain or hunger and without fear for safety or being treated with disrespect. I am attracted to being a caregiver because there is a need for caring people. I feel good when I know I have made someone else's life a little easier even if they cannot express it. I am proud to have been able to strike a balance between pursuing my interests and caring for others.
