About Tracey

I became a caregiver because I wanted to take care of my mother. I like being a caregiver because I have a passion to help the elderly. A personal achievement I am proud of is being able to take care of my mother by myself and keeping her alive for 6 years. My mother was bed-bound was 6 years and I learned how to take care of a trach, how to use a hoyer lift, I learned wound-care, etc.
