I am a caring, compassionate, kind, patient, honest and reliable caregiver. I enjoy being a caregiver knowing I am helping people in various ways to achieve keeping their lives as normal and less stressful by doing all that is required and doing it well. I am the oldest of three and when my parents were at the age where they needed assistance I was there for them and realized they're so many other families in this situation and they are not able to be there for them. I enjoy meeting people and making a difference in their lives so that they can remain at home and not worry how will they do it.
