About Carla

I love helping people. Helping my client or assisting them in their everyday activities, for some it is helping them to be close to independent as possible. And helping them feel good about themselves. Give the client the chance to tell me that story they told everyone else hundreds of times already. My personal achievement is that most place I work I take a very caring approach to. This shows through my work and about 2 and half years ago the company I worked for gave me a debit Visa card for over $100.00, a certificate and my name in the newsletter. And the Corp office of anywhere I have ever been employed in the last 8 years know me by name even if they haven't meet me...I try my best to be a team player. I don't like doing the same thing twice if not necessarily need to. I take pride in my work..I am a little silly at times, I love to make my clients laugh and smile..well and to feel comfortable. I am a single mother of two. My son is in high school, my daughter is going to be high schooled.aged next year. My daughter is developmentally a two year old, so my parents help me with my kids alot. I don't drink or smoke anything, if I am not working I am with my kids or at church. I am at times overly friendly, if you can't handle it just let me know, I will do my best to tone it down. My last name is Loving and I do my best to have a loving attitude at all time. It does get hard sometime then I have to fake it. And I don't like to be fake.
