Even as a teenager, I had a special affinity for the elderly and still enjoy serving/helping them, talking with them, and learning about their life experiences. I have a B.S. in Nursing and M.A. in Humanistic Psychology. Both of these disciplines require excellent observation skills which I use continuously to assess the mental and physical status of the people I care for. I enjoy working in situations where family is caring and involved and in which communication with family is encouraged. I am an active, healthy 72-year-old widow, mother of an adult son and daughter, and enjoy clogging, crocheting, reading, beading, volunteering and playing classical piano. My experiences as a nurse and mother, and years working with developmentally disabled adults have prepared me for working with those who need care-giving services. But, most importantly, I have a protective heart for the elderly.

What makes me a great caregiver is the fact that I have empathy, compassion, patience, and I'am very trustworthy. I like to think that I have a natural urge to help others and being able to help others is a priority. I became a caregiver because my dream is to become a registered nurse and an RN, your main priority and job is to help others in need. I have always enjoyed assisting people in a way I could and seeing them happy and content with my help is enough of an accomplishment for me.
