About Adwoa

I am always delighted to be around people, I am a caring, loving and joyful person. This goes to show how I have been in this profession for over 17 years. When I was a young woman I took care of my grandmother when my parents were not around for some time until she passed away. Having that experience showed me how excited I get when I am able to help make someone's life better. The thing I enjoy the most is when the people I am caring for share their personal experiences, personal background, and how they came about in their life. A personal achievement of mine that I am very proud of is when I cared for a family's loved one and they showed their appreciation towards me through a letter of appraisal when I finished working with them.

I believe that we are all special, unique, different and with a purpose for our existence here on earth. For the many years that I have been taking care of the military men and women, I have loved the joy and appreciation that they give back. It is without a doubt that I will take a great care of your loved one just like I would care for my own. For me, life is a gift that comes from God and therefore, it must be respected.
