About Leslie

Hello. My name is Leslie and I started as a certified nurse assistant back in 1996 primarily working in rehabilitation centers and nursing homes. I've worked in nursing homes, the emergency room at various hospitals through agencies, hospice care, and last but not least and my most favorite home health care. Working home health care allows me to slow down, take my time and focus on one client at a time right in there home environment. I've gotten to know many of my clients on a much more personal level and felt I gave more quality time doing home health. In 2004 I decided to go to school for massage therapy to add to my nursing career. Many of my past clients thoroughly enjoyed this as did I. In 2005 I further pressed on and became an LPN (licensed practional nurse). In 2007 I was the resident care coordinator at an assisted living facility and enjoyed my time there very much. I now focus on home health care and have excellent references upon request. Thanks for your time and God bless
