I am a mother of two, in which my oldest child was born with Cerebral Palsy has since passed away. I never had any help caring for my son whom needed 24-hour care himself. After my son passed I knew I had so much to offer families with my knowledge & compassion I had for others. So I started working as an in home respite worker for United Cerebral Palsy working for families with children of many Special Needs. After years of working with children & young adults my own mother became very ill. I realized the struggles my own father was facing trying to find a trustworthy & compassionate person to care for my own mother as they now live in Florida away from family whom couldn't be there at all times. So I changed my position over to Senior & Elderly Care. Knowing first hand how much importance and need has to be given to families in this age group & are so of yet forgotten about and neglected. I'm a very compassionate caring person whom has had her own struggles with loved ones. I have found my greatest reward in life is being able to give back to families my knowledge and compassion for others so they can know there loved one is cared for as I would care for my own.
