About Joan

I am a very caring and compassionate caregiver who provides quality care while insuring everyone is in a safe environment. I became a caregiver in 1995 when I went to work for an elderly woman who had hip replacement surgery. It was to be a six week job. However, it lasted six years. I very much enjoyed all aspects of my experience with her and I felt that her keeping me on all those years until she passed was a great achievement.

    I go above and beyond to make him/her happy and feel loved. I became a caregiver, because when I was a little girl, I always helped out my grandparents, until the day they both left this earth. I was under the age of 18 when they passed away. So thats when I decided I wanted to be a caregiver. What do I like about being a caregiver, it gives me joy to make them happy and feel loved. Its vary important that i make them happy an enjoy these last days on this earth. I might not be able to take care of all the elderly, but the one's i do take care of its with love. Thats all that matters... I'm most proud of completing schooling in business management,
