About Bernice

I am a honest ,loving and caring Christian woman who have cared for people all my life. Actually I started assisting the elderly in my teens where I assisted my God-Mother in caring for her sick husband. After he passed I cared for her and another elderly woman until I graduated and moved to Virginia in 1981.I lived in Virginia for 31 years and have consistently cared for someone over that time period. I have now moved back to Savannah Georgia where it all started and I am looking to continue what I do best, and thats caring for people. I am a Registered Certified Nursing Assistant in Georgia, CPR/first aid certified and recently obtain a Bachelors degree inTheology and a Masters in Christian Education.
