I became a caregiver because I enjoy meeting new people and I strive to be the person that I would want taking care of my family members. I am very patient, understanding, outgoing, positive, encouraging and fun. I've had very positive outcomes with my clients and have watched them overcome obstacles they've been working on. I always try to get clients to see the positives they have going for them and point out that no matter what the issue is, they can overcome and go far beyond the distance. Where there's a will, there's a way~and a way to find the will!!!

Caregiving isn't for everyone, you have to have a great love for it and your clients! I've received Employee of the Month and Nurse Delegation certificate. I work for 2 locations under my company because I enjoy working so much! I truly enjoy the people I work for! I enjoy cleaning, organizing, grocery shopping, helping people get around and anything else I'm able to assist with! I love animals too!
