About Susan

My parents were in the military. I was raised by my grandparents. My grandmother became a live-in caregiver when I was 12 years old. I spent a lot of time helping her care for 2 elderly people. When my grandparents became unable to care for themselves, I took them into my home. I loved them both dearly through all the struggles of aging and illness. Read many books on how to care for them. They have both passed away. I easily connect with older people. I am honest and a dedicated worker. I am a single mom of three. My oldest daughter is a music teacher, my second daughter is serving active duty in the US Navy, and my youngest daughter is 13 and lives at home with me. I am employed as a legal secretary at a law firm in Jena, Louisiana. I am interested in caring for someone in the evenings and/or weekends.
