About Gwendolyn

My compassion for people and 15 + years of experience is what makes me a GREAT caregiver. I choose this field after witnessing the care my mother was given during one of her many hospital stays when I was an teenagers. The role that her caregiver played in making her stays more comfortable was interesting to me.
