I have been taking care of my parents since September of 2020 doing in home care for my parents. I have experience teaching exercise class since 1999 in gentle stretching and Yoga/Pilates. It has been a great experience giving them aid in their last years of life. I have a BLS CPR certification that is valid until 9/2021. It has been a very rewarding experience being with them during their final years and taking on their care of them and make them smile. Although most of my previous positions have been in the administrative assistant position I have truly enjoyed being a part of making a difference in elderly persons life and being there for them to help them with their care and making life a little easier for them.
