About Barbara

I became a caregiver when my brother was run over by motorcycle my mom didn't know what to do I took action I lifted my brother and carried him to the hospital after cleaning his wound. I enjoy helping always have been a helper. My proudest moment is the look you get when you've helped someone that can't help themselves. Caregiving is so rewarding. The sense of giving back and being there for someone.

    I became a caregiver in 2006 my first client was my grandmother when she needed full time care. That's when I knew that caring for people in need was my calling. I love making lasting relationships with my clients making them feel independent and also giving them a peace of mind. A personal achievement of mine is very simple I love when my clients feel loved by me and look forward to seeing me that drives them to want to accomplish daily activities for themselves. I am a very dependable and simple woman I love giving back to others and helping people comes natural to me. I love cooking, being a companion, organizing, uplifting and inspiring people and much more.
