About Carol

I am warm, sweet, friendly, caring and have loads of compassion. My goal is to help others and be there for them in every possible way. My neighbor inspired me, as he is a disabled veteran with no means of helping himself. I spent many days with him per week. Helping someone in need, being there for them has made me feel very fulfilled. I have completed all state requirements to become a PCT within a short period of time. Top of the class. All for the sake of learning to properly care for people. I have worked with people all of my life. From newborns to elderly. I am very personable, friendly, warm, and very passionate about helping the elderly. I spend a lot of time volunteering at the VA nursing home and volunteer in the neighborhood for which I live in (it is a 55 plus community). I have seen many CNA's and other healthcare professionals not doing the right thing, so I wanted to make a difference where and when I can. I call it "Compassion care". People do many things for many reasons, my reason is that I like to!
