I have worked in the medical field since I was a teenager and enjoy helping those who are experiencing health difficulties whether it is themselves or a family member. I understand that at these times you need a person who not only helps you physically but, also listens to you. I have worked directly with patients and also indirectly, i.e. a Medical Secretary/Assistant. I enjoy helping someone achieve a goal, no matter how small or big.

I am dedicated to each and every person I have the privilege in caring for. I am very patient, compassionate, thorough, and attentive. I have 20 years of CNA experience and through out the years have had a wonderful time getting to know each patient and go above and beyond ensuring they are taken of. I only hope as I age, that I would be well taken care of with my dignity and grace.

I have cared for people most of my life. But when my mom got Alzheimer's that's when I felt the need to start caregiving for Alzheimer's residents. I enjoy it very much that's why I get up every day. They need me as much as I need them.
