My journey into Home Health, Hospice and Caregiving started unexpectedly and quite personally. My then 16-year old daughter was diagnosed with a very rare malignant brain tumor. Fast forward 21 years. Although I enjoyed a very successful career as an IT Consultant, it was not emotionally satisfying. I am a caregiver at heart. I have cared for a young woman, now a young adult since her diagnosis with muscular dystrophy as a child. This is on an as-needed basis and she now enjoys independence in her own home. Working with my elderly families has been extremely rewarding. And caring for someone in their final season of life is something God put me on this earth to do. I raise an amazing teen granddaughter and she keeps me young at heart. Her love for pets keeps me on my toes with her two dogs, one cat and Waldo - her turtle. I am enrolling in the WINGS program and will receive my Certified Nursing Assistant(CNA)/Home Health Aide Certification in fall of 2020. This will be immediately followed by their Medication Management Certification program. Although I have performed in these roles and more for two decades, I have only recently decided to accomplish these Certifications. *Note, Any overnight, weekend or holiday shifts will be on an exception basis only*

I am a great caregiver because I started developing the interest while taking care of my father who became sick for a long time and it was me an my mother who where taking care of him. After he passed away I decided to take up this profession so that I can help other people who need help like my father and make a difference in peoples lives that is what I love most with this job. I do my work diligently and my clients end up treating me like family members and a friend. I enjoy listening to my clients testimonies of how much I have effected their lives in a positive way and to me that is a great achievement. I am a mother of 4 children, married for 16 years, am a Christian believing in the second coming of the lord Jesus Christ. An American with an African origin from a Country called Uganda East of Africa. Very Hardworking and compassionate.
