Ive had compliments on both my cooking and housekeeping skills. Im 52 years old and have 3 grown daughters and one grandson. I completed 2 additional degrees. I have an associate degree in early childhood education and an associate degree in Criminal Justice.

    I believe in providing individual care to seniors still in their homes. I feel many people don't treat seniors with the kindness and care they should. I pride myself on providing companionship and also care.
