About Barbara

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping the elderly and bond with them easily. I have 25 years experience and am proud of the fact that I have long term references as well as the fact that I have the ability to win over patients that are considered very difficult. I am easy to get along with, very energetic, honest and always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. I am looking for something in the lower Westchester area or close by.
