About Susan

I started as a caregiver and decided to obtain my certification. I love what I do and it shows through the compassionate quality of care I provide. I have experience in all areas of the care giving field. From Certified nursing assistant to VIP care giving. I have experience with stroke and dementia patients as well with a certificate for dementia training. I am sure I am the right person to care for your loved one. I would love to discuss my background more in detail with you and find out more about what you are looking for in a care provider. I have a resume and professional references upon request. I also have letters of recommendation. I am highly qualified and love what I do. I promise you will not be disappointed. I usually give families my resume, letters of recommendation and professional references so they can get a better understanding of the quality caregiver I am. I look forward to hearing from you!
