About Leah

I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is the instant gratification I get to see someone living and thriving despite their current life adjustments. I also love being a caregiver because I love to put people I care about and their needs before mine. I was raised from a young age that if you give back your life will be all uphill. I am most proud of when I worked at my local nursing home, that I was able to provide postmortem care for one of my residents and be humble, respectful and still incorporate as well as care for the needs of my residents' family as well as the resident even in the most darkest of time.
