About Susan

I am a great caregiver because of my patience, attention, ability to anticipate needs, assessing safety of the environment for the person physically and emotionally. My problem solving skills, ease of communication with the person and their family, and non-threatening presence. My innate ability to bring peace and comfort. I discovered my delight as a caregiver as i stepped out of my role as an RN, and stepped in to help family and friends with their seniors' needs. Being kind, gentle, skillful and encouraging during often challenging and emotional times.
