About Regina

I can help! I am a friendly, reliable, responsible, well-mannered, ethical adult who enjoys the company of elderly people. I love listening to their stories and their life lessons. Although my \"resume\" doesn't fit that of a typical caregiver, I would love the opportunity to help you out while visiting with and caring for your loved one. I do not have a lot of experience from a nursing or medical perspective (other than knowing a bit about prescription drugs from my Pharmacy background), but I can cook and do light housekeeping and laundry while visiting with your loved one. I love gardening and would be happy to assist your loved with with flower or vegetable gardening. I am a transplanted Southern girl with old-fashioned values. I am the proud mother of three teenagers, two boys and one girl. I am divorced, but my ex-husband and I get along wonderfully and do a great job of co-parenting our children. Any questions about me - feel free to ask!

Growing up I was an only child then I lost both of my parents. My father passed away and my mother abandoned me. I am strong willed and can accomplish anything that is presented to me. I love that I can be able to take care of others and showing them the love and help they need since I didn't get that growing up. Caregiving is the first step then hope I can be able to be a nurse or doctor one day so I can use my skills and talents where needed.
