About James

I became a caregiver at first to help young people succeed in their own environment. Then I realized how many people besides just teenagers needed support. I love being able to empathize and show compassion to my fellow Floridians! A simple thank you with a smile goes a long way in my book. I'm proud to share my life with people, past, present, and future! I truly mean that! Everyone can learn something from each other it's all a matter of perspective. And if I'm not learning, I'm striving to help create that learning environment. I love cooking for clients with an open mind to nutritional meals. There's not a day where I'm not trying to spread a smile! I work with an open mind and an open heart, and am very accepting of constructive criticism.
