About Latricia

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I get joy and satifaction from assisting people who can't necessarily do for themselves. I like being useful. I enjoy feeling like I am doing something good for someone else. I am proud of the fact that I have years upon years of experience. I am proud of all I've learned. I am proud that I get to put that knowledge to use by doing and by teaching. I am a 37 year old single mom. I enjoy meeting new people. I am also an excellent multitasker.

Laundry, meals prepared for the young man's disabeled sister. Whatever the mom needed done around the house. As a CNA, the duties are more restricted to adls for the young man.
