About Patty

I am enrolled in a post-Masters Advanced Counseling program at Montclair State University, and have professional experience working with many different kinds of people. I became interested in caregiving after taking care of my mother in the months prior to her death. I worked for Lowcountry Companions in Charleston, SC, in 2009. I am patient, compassionate, and reliable. I like people, and I enjoy talking to older people, hearing their stories and and benefiting from their wisdom and experience.
