About Patricia

I have been a caregiver since I can remember back to the age of 11-12 and helped take care of grandfather and siblings. I started by taking nursing classes at the age of 15, I worked in nursing homes and hospitals and decided I wanted to be in the geriatric field at that time. I went to the montgomery county vo-tech school from 1980-1983 and almost all of our time was spent in the field hands on to teach us all the aspects of nursing and to help us decide where we would like to continue. I have been out of nursing a few years and I'm looking forward to doing what I love and have missed. While I was working with executive maids I was able to partially continue with care for homeowners in need of help.
