I have been in this profession for four years now. I became a caregiver because I have a passion for working with people. I am caring and compassionate. I form trusting relationships with individuals quickly. I am flexible on the pay.

My career has always been working as a Sales Professional on the West Coast. As I worked, I was also putting in many hours volunteering as an in home hospice companion, in home palliative companion, and serving in convalescent homes. I am currently considering being a Hospital Chaplain as a career change since this is where my heart is at. I'm a social person who loves to provide a positive environment with everyone I meet. My appreciation for hospice came when my mom needed this service and I knew somehow I wanted to be on the caring side of the industry. Please know my Sales career has helped me adapt to a variety of people which helps me meet them where they are at vs. a "canned" approach to all. I am high energy, reliable, and try to make the person I am caring for feel respected, loved, and like they are the center of the universe. If it's important to you, I am a Christian. If this is not important to you, I will respect your outlook too and will honor the boundaries in place. Believe me, I will find something in common with your loved one and give them the care and attention they deserve.
