About Leslie

I became a Caregiver because I worked in the Corporate world and became bored with it. I didn't have any passion for it. Being a Caregiver I like helping others and making them feel good. I like helping them complete their goals and putting a smile on their face. It's just something about giving them just the little things; which may not mean much to us, but it's the world to someone who is elderly, disabled, or misfortunate. My personal achievement is helping my last client who had MS Get his apartment setup. He lives alone now and no longer has to worry about people stealing his medical supplies or food. I am currently researching schools where I can finish obtaining my nursing degree.
