I became a caregiver for my grandmother. She had a triple heart bypass surgery, and was expected to recover instantly. Within in 2 weeks she was progressively getting worse. Doctors did not understand why or what was the cause. A week later the doctors realized that she had a infection in her bones from the surgery. Still into this day she has not recovered and in pain constantly. I cared for her for two years until I relocated. Being able to provide someone with comfort and happiness, is what I love to do. I love to be able to be my clients listening ear and a hand to hold when needed. I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I am very proud that I have served for our country. Helping and providing safety is my true calling. I am a warm, kind hearted and reliable person. I can depend upon no matter the situation I take pride in what I do.
