About Susan

I became a caregiver because i simply enjoy taking care of people. I love making people laugh as i feel laughter is the best medicine in this world today. I became a caregiver 25 years ago when I started caring for my handicap cousin. (who is now 37) I enjoyed being with her and teaching even the simpliest things that we may all take for granted. She is blind so I would take her ice skating, sledding, etc, anything for a challenge. To see her feeling of power was enough of a reward for me. I knew I wanted to help people in life so I went to school and became a medical assistant/phlebotomist. The challenges and rewards were endless. I worked in a very busy practice where i was able to utilize the knowledge and compassion i have to take care of people.

    Hi I'm Holly! I became a caregiver because I began attending a College in Massachusetts for my bachelor's degree in the profession of nursing. I have always enjoyed lending a helping hand or assisting another person in order to provide them with the care they need. And I feel by helping others I have a better purpose in what I can be doing. I am proud of my personal achievement of attending my college towards my bachelor's degree in nursing. I am a dedicated and hardworker. I will not disappoint on the job, I am independent once familiarized with my expectations and duties, but will ask questions when needed.
