About Leah

I became a caregiver for mentally/physically handicapped adults because I love helping others. I love knowing that what I do makes a difference in someone's life. I left my previous caregiver employment to deploy to Afghanistan where I earned the Combat Action Badge and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal. I am currently pursuing a A.S. in Business Administration and hope to one day use that to open a midwife or doula business.

    As women I believe we are born to nurture and have great care for others because we are preparing ourselves to be mother's. I see the elderly as people who've lived their life to their full potential and now they have the luxury of someone being their right hand. I cook, clean, chauffeur, garden, etc. I engage my clients to do physical and mental activities with me. Assisting with medication and other necessities I take care of. I enjoy listening to stories and testimonies of others. It brings a smile to my face when I learn new things and see life in a different perspective.
