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.
