We all have a need to feel valued and loved regardless of our position in life or our age. I seek to serve and assist, to laugh with and encourage these valuable ones who have lived so much life and who have contributed in both seen and unseen ways to our families and communities. I see caregiving as a way to give back....bringing heartfelt joy to people and helping....I can think of no greater job. I would love to talk with you and discuss how I can be of help for you and your loved one. Also would be happy to provide references . I live near Bel Air, and would love to connect and assist in the Bel Air/Fallston/Abingdon area.
