I am known to have an impeccable record when it concerns jobs and timing, my coworkers can count on me to show up for work. My ethnic background is European of origin, my family taught us great morals and values caring for our own family members, we cared for everybody in our family, the experience and knowledge achieved over many years realized my love to care and journey into caring for others over 24plus years. I am also a mother of two beautiful children that I taught all the good caring experiences to as well, my teaching will hopefully go on for many generations to come. My hard work and dedication doing a great job is a super achievement in my life privately and or professionally, the importance is also knowledge I have received from many great doctors and medical staff I got to know over the many years and long standing clients I cared for at times for over 7 years full time.
