I became a caregiver after my father suffered a stroke in 1998 and I took care of him for nine months before he finally passed on and that experience imprinted in my heart a desire to serve and care for those in similar situations. It is most rewarding to me when I see my patients smile when I walk in the door and improve dramatically in my care. My proudest achievement was when the widowed daughter of my 91 yr old patient was finally able to find life by traveling the world and eventually meeting and marrying her husband today. She said the trust, love and care I gave her Mum was the only reason she was able to achieve this. We remain family friends to this day. I'm a proud grandma of four beautiful grandchildren, I enjoy life and keeping fit and healthy.
