About Brittany

I became a caregiver because I have always loved helping people. This is not just a job for me this is my life. Me helping people achieve their greatest potential is what makes me happy. I was surprised with an award and a visa gift card from the president and Administrator of the company I work for. The award was for love. I love all my patients but I didnt know I was being watched and praised for the care I provide them daily. I come from a close-nit family where I was raised by my grandmother she taught me what it means to love, take pride and be dignified in everything that I do.
