I became a caregiver because I was raised by my grandmother who at age 62 developed Parkinson's disease. I care for the elderly and infirm from the heart as a tribute to her memory. I am proud of having a community college degree in Medical Laboratory Technology a career I had for 30 years. I'm also a licensed Cna. I am fluent in English, Spanish and can pick up Italian easily which was an advantage my former employers utilized.
