About Andrew

I'm a great caregiver in part due to my level of compassion and patience, but also because I've had a multitude of experiences, ranging from skilled nursing facilities, a nonprofit teaching hospital, to a hospice. I was first attracted to becoming a caregiver through watching my mom, a nurse of more than four decades. What I enjoy most is making individuals comfortable and the realization that I possess the power to improve their quality of life. The personal achievement I'm most proud of is graduating college, all while juggling a full time job and an internship with a competitive grade point average.

I became a caregiver because I believe what goes around comes around and I will be in their shoes some day and want to receive the care that I give to the elderly. I am always smiling and just a people person and give the elderly the time and care they deserve. I am an older woman that found my dream job. I was a stay at home mom for many years and just found that I had more to give once my children were out on their own. So I decided to go back to school in the medical field.

I love helping others, that is my goal in life. I enjoy knowing I've been a helping hand to someone. I enjoy making a meal, lending an ear, or just keeping someone company.
