About Rebecca

I enjoy caregiving because the opportunity to develop relationships with people in need of compassion and companionship is a high priority. I feel that I am caring, gentle and patient. At times I am able to make quick decisions in terms of next step action. I enjoy conversation, but also appreciate being a silent presence. I was initially attracted to caregiving while my husband was in nursing school. My 4+ years of in-home personal care have been a highlight of my life accomplishments.
