About Amber

I'm new to carelinx, I'm in the process of the background check. I have three kids one in the army, one going to UCCS, and the youngest is still in high school. I'm a person with great values for life and the echoes that we send out. I love helping people in with anything that I can. I was first drawn to caregiving when my grandma went through 7 caregivers and ended up in the hospital. I was currently going through college and dropped everything to become my grandma's caregiver. She was suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's and had fallen and hurt herself a couple times within the 7 caregivers that she went through. In the four years that I was her caregiver it was amazing and a great experience. I was able to spend valuable time with my loved one and be a benefit to her conditions. After she passed I continue caregiving and aiding for clients.
