About William

I have worked for 20 years in various social service and healthcare agencies. I have serviced individuals from MR/DD, the mentally ill, disadvantaged youth an the elderly. However, being a caregiver has been one of the most fulfilling jobs I've ever had. I am a down to earth, laid back person who is dependable, loyal and trustworthy. I think with my work experience and education that I would be a good careworker.
