About Teresa

I became a care giver because I care about what happens and what's going on in a persons life as they get older and have special needs. I like to think that when I get older my family will care about what happens to me, so I treat everyone as I would like to be treated and loved. My personal best is that I have achieved the goal that I have set for myself and I would like to go higher. A person can always do better in life if they put their mind to it. When I was younger I have always taken care of people and pets. As I got older I continued to do so. Until this day I still put others before myself and always willing to give something back to the community and my family.
