About Amy

There are many things that make a great care giver, for me it's compassion, understanding, patience an love. I have worked in the healthcare field for over 20yrs. In this time I have gained a very broad knowledge an skill base. I use what I have learned an what I learn from my clients to make their care the best it can be. I am very easy goin, but know when an how to set boundaries, I am trust worthy an honest dependable an a hard and effective worker. I like to joke an laugh and see someone smile! I started doin care giving when I was 19, 2 years after my great granny, an my grandpa passed. We kept them at home an made their care an transition as peaceful an as full as we could an I felt it would be great to share that with others. Something I am very proud of myself for is achieving the skills an knowledge I have over the years, but mostly the care, love an comfort I've given many people over my years of care giving!
