When I got into memory care it was on accident, but I fell in love with it. I connect with whoever I am around and have a huge heart for caring for each person I care for. When I started at Brookdale I was hired as a dishwasher but the executive director saw something in me and wanted me on the floor, which was the best decision ever. I started knowing nothing and now have a great understanding of memory problems. When it comes to taking care of someone I have a serious and goofy personality. I like to dance around make jokes to help them laugh. I guess I should add in I am a mother of a 1 year old daughter. I also like to bring my daughter around who I am working with occasionally so they can have a little baby therapy.
