About Barbara

Hi!! I am reliable - upbeat- able to immediately gauge a client's mood and mirror until I get to the bottom / cause of the mood if necessary - I am fun and can adapt to most any personality thus defining FUN in the way that my client would! My educational background in oCounseling has helped me to do a 1-2-3 check to determine how to approach and bond day by day even - client by client. I am very honest and able to be trusted . I have tremendous instinct and react well under pressure or in urgent situations- Those I have worked with/ for have referred me to their friends and/ or called me back - which , in my opinion is a high form of " seal of approval!" My clients and I establish a quick and easy relationship that more times than not gets close and very family-like. I still stay in touch with those who are " here " and those who have passed - I send Occassional smiles and hugs to too! :) I would love to talk with you! 703-906-6302 to see if I might be "just the :the extra hand - help- assist" that you have been "wishing- hoping-praying for. " I was born WIRED TO CARETAKE and NURTURE others and to be of assistance and help , serving other folks - Having begun at age 4 , as My own Momma's Helper for pay- and then expanded my services as I got a bit older - being a helper shopping (grocery directly behind our home - Mother could watch my comings and goings THRU the back door window! So I would run over -get stuff on list and come home to help cook dinner. That was back in the early 60' s(groovy, right?!) and not much has changed except the scenery - the stress and the definition and cast of characters for "family".

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.
