I have been caring for the elderly since 1981. My main reason is just pampering and making them feel loved. I enjoy maintaining their life as they have lived it and pray someday someone else will do the same for me someday. I encourage independence not dependence. I am a good southern cook and I enjoy organizing and keeping the house clean. I also assist with helping in relocation by helping her movers, packing, escorting nationwide, and assisting the family with local services once arrived.
