About Vickie

I became caregiver about 20 years ago taking care of my father in-law. I enjoyed the challenge and the bond that is there between myself and those I care for. I moved to Colorado springs with only the clothes on my back and by entering the healthcare field, I was able to get myself back on my feet and provide a home for my son and myself.

    I have over 5 years caregiver experience. I love helping others who are unable to do thing's on their own. I continued to do caregiving because of my grandfather o took care of for 3 year's back in 2010. Once he passed away i just felt i could do more by helping others that need help or just need someone to talk to. I am proud that i have made a difference in other people's lives.

    I am Patient, very compassionate, detail oriented, and loving. My granny also known as my best friend had became very ill around 2013/2014 and my mother worked a full time job, she didn't have anyone to help her take care of my granny so I told my mother that I would provide for her. I took care of her day in and day out, I enjoyed bonding with her and getting to know and understand her interest. It allowed me to care for someone else aside from myself and build a remarkable bond. That experience encouraged my choice in major for college. I chose to go to school for nursing minoring in CNA and for Pre-Med to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. It is my passion to help others regardless of their circumstances.
