About Blanche

I know that I am a great caregiver because I am compassionate, detail, and professional caregiver. I love providing assistant to others that are in need of assistance with recovery from the hospital environment to giving help with the elderly patients that are not able to do certain things for themselves and not need help in their daily living activities. I became a caregiver to provide a service in a way of giving back to society in a positive way, reaching out to others that appreciate getting help. To see a big smile on a client's face, knowing that they are happy and pleased with the services provided. I am proud to say that I have worked with handicapped children for 13 years with several different disabilities. I have years of experience as a home health employee and as a certified nurse assistant in the hospital environment.
