I became a caregiver after my mother became ill, I was the one that cared for her until she took her last breath. I like the tenderness, and loving smiles I get from the people I care for. Making the people happy and comfortable, is a very personal achievement for me. I'm a very caring, loving, responsible, punctual lady, and I love what I do. Also I'm very friendly and easy to get along with, I'm respectful with my employers, and very trustworthy. . If you like to know anything else about me, don't hesitate to call me.....

What started my journey into the profession as a caregiver started in 2003 when my mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Since there was no other family members living close, it was up to me to insure that my mother got the best care while battling this horrible disease. Unfortunately, my mother lost that battle in 2007, but I feel so fortunate that I was able to commit full time to her care knowing she was getting the best treatment possible during her difficult journey. Since that time I have dedicated my time to helping other family's going through there own challenges whether it be ill health to loss of memory due to dementia or alzheimer's disease. Because of my own experience, my heart truly goes out to others experiencing these similar situations. The people I take care of are much more than just clients, they become family members. I treat each and every one of them with respect and dignity that they deserve! Family members can feel comfortable knowing that your loved ones are getting the best care possible while under my service.
