About Jamie

Honestly, I never thought being a caregiving would be something I would want to do. However, helping with my friend's son and helping with my Granny while in her stages of dementia gave me a whole new outlook. I have always been a nurturing person and have always babysat but being able to help take care of a non-verbal preteen and my 84 year old Granny and seeing and hearing the peace come over my parents and my friend, gave me a satisfaction I had never known before. Working at the Ronald McDonald House and meeting so many family and sometimes patients, gave me a sense of belonging. These families thought of me as their own family because I always tried to go above and beyond to comfort them and make them feel at home while their loved one/ones were fighting to survive next door in the hospital .
