About Lisa

I originally became a caregiver out of necessity in 1990 when my mom's MS left her bedridden. When she passed away in 2001 after her 25 year battle with MS I started working for Visiting Angels and then branched out on my own in 2005. I really enjoy that feeling of knowing I am helping someone...whether it is just companionship so they won't be lonely, or helping them to be able to remain in their own homes. I am a huge history buff, so I love to sit and listen while people tell me stories of their past experiences. I also love to drive and run errands and do arts and crafts. I am always trying to come up with something to keep my mind busy and engaged and love to find things that two can work on so my clients can be just as busy and engaged. I have found that this really helps as far as memory and using it rather than losing it :-)
