About LaKisha

I'm a great Caregiver because I go out my way for my clients. I'm very attentive to my clients needs. I'm a loving, caring, kind, big hearted person. I go beyond my job for my clients I make sure whatever they need is done. I make them smile and happy no matter how they feel. I always make sure I put them first. I love my job and what I do. I got into this feel because I took care of my grandmother and grandfather. I believe this is my passion because I really love helping others.
