About Alanna

I have always enjoyed helping people and at a young age decided, I would like to do it for the rest of my life. Corporate America was not looking so bright to me, and never will. Care giving gives you a feeling of such rewarding memories, that you touched other peoples lives. I know how hard it can be for infirm people to think positive, and smile, but seeing patient's smile is something to be proud of. Caregivers make a difference. Since the age of a child, I knew compassion was a big part of my soul. I cannot imagine anything more than compassion, to tell you who I am.
