About Duanna

I have a long history in the medical field and am very comfortable caring for others. I love to help people, and am great at calming and diffusing situations. My dad was diagnosed with dementia and thinking about it, i hate to know that there are some people out there that don't have family that is able to help care for them. I would love to get the chance to help someone who does not have that option. I am very dependable, and have worked hard throughout my career to advance and learn.
