I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others, it makes me feel as though I have given something back as long as I am helping someone to accomplish things that they may need help with. For the past 30+ years I have devoted my life to caring for seniors, children, dementia and Alzheimer's clients, and also clients that just need a little extra attention. I am a 46 year old mother and grandmother and I am very family oriented. I also have completed a background check and drug testing.
