About Tracy

I became a caregiver because I care about people and believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect. My mom and step father both have been sick and I was very upset with the level of care provided to them and decided I wanted to make a difference, even if a small one. I'm very proud of switching careers from mortgage banking to CNA which was a big step for me and I plan on finishing my degree to become a nurse.

    I have always liked people and helped others. I been a caregiver on and off for over 30 years. I have taken care of many people like they were my own family. My patients needs and wants will always come first. I may someday need care and i will give my patients the respect and care that I want for myself if needed someday. I would prefer a live in position. You may ask what have I been doing. For the last three years I have been with a wonderful lady who pass on her 102 birthday and her daughter who will be moving to an independent living on Oct 1. This is why I will be leaving here this house is to big for the both of us and there to many memories here which we both become sad at times. We also laugh because we have so many good memories of her mom. She needs to start her new life. So send me an email if you think I may be the right person for you love ones needs. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have. I speak English and Spanish. Thank you Nancy
