About Vanessa

I was a nurturer from inception. I love caring for people and helping them maintain the life they are accustomed to. I have taken care of my mom for 11 years. I am big on nutrition for health but will cook whatever is requested. I am a retired engineer so I relate well with all ages. I am good at ADLs, med reminders, hospice, companionship, gardening, cleaning and cooking.

    I grew up watching my parents taking care of my grand parents , I guess it comes naturally to me doing the same . Taking care of other gives you that inner satisfaction which is hard to find in other work settings. I'm proud to be a Nurse . I'm registered nurse from a foreign country working as certified nursing assistant with extensive experience working with seniors with different healthcare needs and trained to work with a lot of diverse cultures and settings. http://www.thequint.com/2015/aprhttp://www.thequint.com/2015/apr/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret
