My background is full of caring for others. I started babysitting and helping in the church nursery at a very young age. I continued caring for children as I got into high school I became employed as an aide for a child with Autism as well as before and after school care. I later decided to train to become a STNA and CNA. I worked with clients with MRDD for 7 plus years then decided to transition into behavioral and mental health field where I worked for 5 years. In that time I was blessed to be able to provide part time home care for my great grandmother who suffered from a stroke. I was also blessed to provide full time home care for my grandmother for 2 years.
