About Malasha

I decided on becoming a caregiver because I've been a nurse for 17 years and really enjoy caring for others, but nursing, with all of its huddle and bussle, didn't allow much time to give the care I longed to provide for my clients. Caregiving allows for such care. I've worked in many different facets of nursing including hospice, home health, med-surg, skilled care, nursing home, and have even held multiple managerial positions in nursing, but I realized what I really found fulfilling was actual caregiving!
