    I am a compassionate, caring and trustworthy person. I am a consummate professional with a great work ethic. I have elderly parents that receive care so I know the traits that I look for in a caregiver. I have always had the desire to help others. Helping others improve or maintain a good quality of life has always been fulfilling and satisfying. My greatest personal achievements have been graduating from college with honors, advancing in my career and taking care of my aging parents.

    I became a caregiver because my parents needed me. There was no hesitation, my love and admiration for my parents knows no bounds. I'm an excellent caregiver because of my compassion and empathy for other's, especially our senior community, who need care the most. I am professional yet personable. I strive to make "my person" comfortable and happy. I possess common sense and a sense of humor. I'm honest and trustworthy and care for other's as if they were my family.
