About Hollis

I had a child that was in the Albuquerque Burn Center for a year; to be able to care for him I earned a nursing certificate. I used this knowledge to care for him, and subsequently, several seniors over the years. I enjoy being able to help seniors stay in their homes until the end of their life. I have taught handicapped children and adults how to swim for over 35 years. I was a foster parent for ten years and adopted my first foster child; my daughter adopted my last foster child. I was, also Chief Judge for elections in Ada County for 22 years.

    My life is built around love and compassion. I have worked in healthcare for 17+ yrs, with some of my my most memorable moments in elderly care. I have worked anywhere from, home health, hospice, memory care, assistant administrator, etc. I have spent the last 5 yrs as a stay at home mom raising my children. I love working with our elderly community because they have lived and know a life, we will never know. I love to listen to their history, how they were raised, and see them through different eyes. Laugh and smile with them. They were once young just as you and I.
