About Joann

I love helping people. I have found out that being a caregiver is much more rewarding then my past career of being a commercial buyer. I like helping people to be able to stay in their own homes. It is both a calming and healing environment over living in an assisted living environment. In one of my past positions I was able to help a morbidly obese woman lose a significant amount of weight and become more mobile. Presently I work with severely special needs children of Army families. I have lived in Colorado over twenty-five years. I have raised two children. My daughter is soon to be married, and my son is finally legal. I would love to be your care provider and help you attain your goals and aspirations.
