My name is Tracy Richel. I became a care giver about 20 years ago. I decided on this career choice when my great grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. I watched her decline and decided I wanted to help others. It may not be pretty all the time but it is definitely rewarding in many ways. I have been a single mother since the age of 17 so I put my own dreams aside and worked on my sons. Well 16 years later 3 children I decided it was time. So I went out got my GED and started college at a community school working towards my nursing degree. I will be taking my cna class this fall. My work experience has mostly been with the elderly that have Alzheimer/Dementia. However, I have also worked with individuals that have mental and physical handicaps. I hope to find the perfect fit with you and your loved ones. After all, I it's just as difficult to watch a loved one decline and my heart and sympathy's go out to you.
