About Kelly

I am 20 years old, wife, and mother of a 2 year old. I worked at a DD home for 7 months and took care of 8 individuals. I took care of my sister in law that has severe epilepsy for 3 years. I love taking care of people because there are so many things you can get from it; such as hearing the different stories told by individuals from when they were younger, learning new things, getting to see the world from their perspective and i enjoy laughing and creating a family like relationship with the individual.
