About Paula

I have been a caregiver of sorts since I was 11 years old when my grandmother became disable. As an adult I have cared for my terminally ill step-father and have currently been employed with an Alzheimer's patient for 18 months. I am a caring compassionate person and love knowing that I am helping someone during the most frightening time of their lives. I love to nurture people and put as much joy into their lives as I can. I am very proud of the job that I do knowing that I am making a difference in someone's life. I am an excellent cook, and housekeeper. I am gentle, loving a patient. I know this is my calling in life and am so happy to be doing what I love.
