About Jessica

Hello, loving women with a heart to share and help. I finished my college degree last year but back in 2016, I wanted to also work with senior citizens. I decided to take a home health aide license in order to have more knowledge of what have to been done and be able to assist on my free times and weekend. I loved working for different families and learned so much and even felt lile I was part of the family. I believe every one needs companionship and I love being that person whenever I can.
