About Lois

I am a great caregiver because I enjoy the conversation, I am likeable, enjoy the companionship, helping others, caring, and I possess the natural empathetic/sympathetic aspects. What attracted me was at first the need for a job but it very quickly became an enjoyable experience for not only myself but the client. I like talking to the client the most. They have some fascinating life stories to talk and share. I like the companionship. My greatest personal achievement is the raising of my children most entirely on my own.
