I started in this field in 2013 when my grandmother's health started to decline. I always helped her with anything she needed and she got to stay in her home like she wanted instead of going into a nursing home. She passed in 2014 and that's when I decided that I wanted to make a difference for other people that wanted the same thing she did, to just stay in the comfort of their own home. I love going into work every day and putting a smile on my client's face, helping them through every day tasks and making their day more enjoyable and making it easier or even possible for them to continue living in their home.
