About Lisa

I became a caregiver after my husband became ill. He had a great caregiver during his first stay in the hospital. She was so kind and compassionate, not just with but our whole family. I wanted to give that kind of support to others. I am compassionate, a little stern, supportive, a good listener , fun and love to laugh. I am very serious about skin care and comfort.

What make me a great caregiver is my personality I am a very happy, caring and loving person with patience and a little over 10 years of experience. What attracted me to be a caregiver is wanting to be an assistant to those who can no longer assisted themselves with daily living activities. What I enjoy most about caregiving is the client and just being able to be there to give a helping hand . My personal achievements that I'm proud of is getting my job done each and everyday to the best of my ability.
