About Victoria

I started care giving in April 2014 my mother became ill and my self just being laid off from my previous employer just felt right to take care of her. My mother was miss diagnosed with dementia due to head trauma that followed a brain operation 2 years previous to me becoming her caregiver but even then I stood by her side after that other complications followed enemia also bleeding in From AVM in her lower intestines then followed Cardiovascular disease. I spent alot of time with doctors and in and out of hospitals with her including caring for her at home. I decided to take on two other clients and learned how they didnt have any children to take care of them or families around. I became that person they needed. It made me proud to see the smiles and happiness I brought into there lives. My mother passed way and also lost another client. So now I want to continue to help others make life easy and comfortable for them. I'm full of smiles with a loving heart.
