About Debra

My passion for being a caregiver and soon an RN was brought to life after I met a special nurse while I was receiving treatment for breast cancer 10 years ago. She was a blessing to myself and my family and she was one of the best nurses I have ever met. Her compassion and support truly moved me. It was then that I realized that making someone's life a little easier and brighter is where my heart was.

Hello My is Nancy, I enjoy working one on one with people, and I especially love to make them smile by doing little things to brighten their day. I'm a registered CNA and HHA. I have taken care of several family members and friends of family and I've worked as a home health aid. Every person is special and everyday can present a new challenge and I am constantly learning from my clients. One woman in particular that I cared for was 65 yrs old. She was deaf & mute and taught me ASL sign language. So taking care of an individual is part of the job, but 'Caring For Them' is a large part of My heart.
