About Gwendolyn

I enjoy taking care of people. My father just passed a year a year ago and I helped take care off him intil his transition. When my mother had her surgeries I was there to take care of her and anything thay she needed. My husband has a chronic illness that I also help him with when he needs it. I have 3 children that I adore and love to nurture. I just want to help people you need it so that can feel safe and comfortable.

HI am energetic,loving,patient and happy lady aged 27,Who believes in nothing less than hundred percent commitment and achievement.i believe that my client happiness and joy is very important and I always do all it takes to ensure they are happy .my greatest fulfillment in life is being able to see someone I work with satisfied and happy.I started falling in love with being a care giver when my grand mom was sick and we wanted her to stay with us thinking that would be the best decision for her and for Us but she get worse and finally me and my sister were at home and she begged that we go to her house and she really like it there ...then I understand and saw through her how vital and important is aging at your home, your comfort zone. And how it's important to have someone who loves and understand your need as u growing up. That was when I discover that I can put a smile on someone's face and with time I realized how making my client laugh changed their life's.am ready to offer my outmost service to your mother .Anytime you need help with any one in your house hold contact me.Thank you looking forward to hearing from you
