About Barbara

I am an excellent caregiver because I do it from my heart. I am trained in many fields but nursing is my passion. It feeds my soul and keeps my heart beating. Every person regardless of age needs to feel valued and cherished. They need to know that they matter. That is what I do. I make all of my clients feel like they matter, because they do! I assist with all of their daily needs and wants in a way that they don't feel ashamed or useless.I listen always, especially when that is what they want most! I enjoy the outdoors and all the beauty it has to offer. I am married and the proud mother of a newly appointed chief in the US Navy. I am also the lucky grandmother of two amazing children, that by the way are growing much much too fast! I enjoy life and all its ups and downs. I keep a positive attitude through it all.
