Hope J.

I've been a caregiver since 1999. I started out by caring for a sick family member for 8 months. After that, I developed a passion of caring for others and I went on to continue to caring for others via a home health agency from 2008 to 2016. I'm no stranger to hard work. I do take pride in my work and my abilities to make individuals feel loved no matter what quality of life they may have currently and at the end of the day it's all about one's well-being, safety and satisfaction. I live by the "Golden Rule " do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I do have a sense of humor, I'm a social butterfly, a great listener and I believe that communication is key.
