About Mercy

I Like caring for the aged as I had 13 years experience taking care of my aged and sick mother. Knowing that you are assisting to make a difference in someone's life and getting satisfaction therefrom is key to me. Like I said earlier, apart from my 5 years professional certification, I can empathize with the aged because I had first hand experience of taking care of my parent. I am a mature, self driven, compassionate and personable person with skills acquired over the year's. I am a Trained and certified CNA/ GNA/MT.
