About Torri

I have worked in nursing homes and private homes since I was 18. To me it's a calling not just a job. I personally like private care more because it's more one on one care and you are able to provide more of what they need. The sweet lady I was just with for 3 years recently passed. She was my best friend. I worked at least 120 hours a week for her. The enjoyment she gave my life can never be described. And I just hope to find someone I can help as much as I did her. She had a stroke 6 years age and was paralyzed. I stayed with her usually Wednesday through Monday. Dressed her, gave her showers, fed her, did medications , housework among other things

I truely think that being a caregiver just came naturally to me. Growing up my great grandmother lived with us and I was taught at a young age how to care for an elderly person. It is a passion in life to make a difference in someone else's life in a positive way. I believe I have done this many times working for individuals and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I love to nurture and care for others, as a mom it just come naturally. :)

I became a caregiver when my mother- in- law became terminally ill with brain cancer and required 24/7 care. I enjoy helping others I currently work at a nursing home as a CNA and I love my job just to talk to them and see their face light up when they recognize you. You r the only family some has.
