About Abigail

For the past 3 years I've worked as a Direct Support Professional in group homes with both the mentally and/or physically disabled clients that have varied degrees of care From a young age I've always been considered the care giver in my family. I believe in treating my clients as I would any member of my family, with patience, understanding and a genuine desire to provide care to the best of my ability with my strong, enthusiastic work ethic. The most satisfying part of my job is to see a smile on my clients face that reflects quality care.

I love to give back to my community by helping the elderly achieve things in their every day lives they can no longer do for themselves. To me, it's a blessing and rewarding feeling to help some one. I grow up with my grand parents and at some point in their lives i have to do everything for them. I like to extend that same love and compassion to other people. I am very patient, caring, and passionate person. I enjoy giving and making people feel very comfortable around me.
