About Darien

I am a mature professional Christian woman who feels many senior citizens do not receive the respect and care that they are so deserving of. I enjoyed caring for my ill Father prior to his passing away, and I have a good amount of medical knowledge and Emergency training. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a co-major in Business Administration, and I hold two jobs. I own a small Pet Care business, and very much would enjoy helping seniors who may be homebound with the care of their pets too. In addition, I enjoy hearing old stories, cooking, doing craft projects, and offering companionship and/or transportation to doctors appointments or errands. I am a patient and kind person. I have a sister who was an RN, and niece that is a Geriatric Nursing Home Administrator, and another niece that is a social worker, so providing care to those in need run in my family.
