About Theresa

1. I saw the incredible love shown to my Grandmother by caregivers when I was young, and was very thankful. 2. I like working with one or two people at a time instead of 12- 15 in a nursing home situation. 3.An ongoing situation I am proud of is the smiles I see on my peoples face when I arrive. They trust me and know I will take care of them. 4. I was a Med. Tech. in the Air Force and then became a C.N.A. Have had my certificate for 4 1/2 years now. 3 years were spent in a nursing home, This last year has been taking care of two separate ladies in their homes.
