About Patty

I have been caring for the elderly since I was in middle school and enjoyed it. I'm good at making people smile and enjoy their company and history. I was able to work with Alzheimer's people and keep the peace. I'm very friendly with the elderly as I took care of a Grandma and Great Grandma and now my Mom. I knew this was my calling since middle school as I was a candy striper and volunteer.
