About Kayla

One of the things I love about caregiving is being able to help other people and seeing their potential! Knowing that I can be of some help to them and make a difference is the greatest gift! What attracted me to being a caregiver was that I did not know the need was so great for so many populations that need help! One of the personal achievements that I am proud of is that I love to advocate for those in need.

Hello my name is Angie. I love being a caregiver because I like to make others lives a little bit easier. It brightens my day to see others smile. People want to stay in their homes and not have to go into nursing homes. If I can be a part of helping them to stay in their home then I feel I have been successful. I took care of my mother in law for a little over 10 years. I have also taken care of others in In their home.
