I have over 10 years of experience providing care for my loved ones as-well-as others in need of care. My husband & 21 year old son lost their battles against cancer within 6 years apart. I found that caring for them without any assistance was a great challenge that I conquered alone. I gained a vast amount of knowledge & experience regarding both colon cancer & osteosarcoma of which my guys suffered, dealing with chemotherapy & surgeries. Even though they lost their battles, I found that a part of me has become more loving & understanding of human sufferage than ever before. I am blessed to be strong & I am appreciative of having good health, & look forward to helping others in need of care and companionship. I am both patient and loving, having been through such devastating experiences with my own loved ones, and I know how it feels to be in such a vulnerable position. I have dedicated myself to assisting people in need of care, and l love what I do. I have been working in this field since 2010 and was hired by Rescare soon after my husband passed in 2016.
