I became a caregiver when i had lost my own Grandmother to a horrible debilitating disease. I seen who was there to care for her and what i felt the person should have done. The lack of decent care really turned me toward wanting to be everything someone needed in that special time of need. I enjoy when my clients families tell me that i have cared for their loved one as if they were my own family member. I take being a caregiver very seriously, i want to make sure i am relieving as much stress and worry from not only my clients but especially their family members. I love to allow my clients to be as independent as possible, always helping to reassure them im only there to lend a helping hand not to take over their life. I am a mother of 4 beautiful children, 2 almost grown and on their own and 2 elementary school aged, so needless to say i do not lack patience :).
