About Heather

I have been a cna and home care worker for over 20 yrs. I enjoy helping people and careing for elderly. It has to be one of the most rewarding jobs next to being a mom in the world. When I can be there to either help them in everyday needs all the way to the final days of life. Not only have I enjoy it but I have met some amazing and wonderful people that have affected me in positive ways.
