About Teri

I am a very friendly down to earth women of 61 years young. I have a vast array of professional experiences from recovering patients straight from the operating room that have had open heart surgery to caring for newborns. I had to retire in 2004 because I became very ill with lymphedema and a very painful bladder disease called interstitial cystitis. Being severely ill has made me even more caring and compassionate for anyone suffering from any illness. I like to incorporate family into my patient care as much or as little as the family member is comfortable. I believe that God allowed me to become ill so that I could become a very compassionate care giver. I actually CARE for my patients.

My name is Paula and I have been a caregiver for a total of 5 years now. I began caregiving by taking care of my grandmother when she became ill. That is how I found my passion and knew I enjoyed caring for people. I am a very compassionate person and I treat every person I care for as if they are part of my family. I enjoy seeing the people I care for smile and laugh knowing I have made their day enjoyable, even if it just telling them a joke. A personal achievement I am proud of is going back to school and getting my nursing degree. I would not have it any other way.
