I am sensitive to the needs of each individual and regard all with respect and kindness. I love the outdoors, especially long distance ocean swimming, hiking in the mountains and horseback riding, I have been a relief worker oversees with medically fragile children in orphanages, helped rebuild after Hurricane Katrina, volunteered with Make A Wish Foundation as an Ambassador and The Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation. I've traveled a great deal overseas. I am a certified caregiver, have a Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card, Article 9 and am certified in CPR and First Aid.
