      I am passionate about helping others and believe that my clients should be treated as I would want my own family members to be treated. I have a spirited outlook on life and am a great motivator. It was my personal experience with the care of my parents that attracted me to becoming a caregiver. I strive to be the best at what I do and continue to challenge myself to becoming even better.

      I'm kind, gentle and affectionate. What attracted me to be a care giver was when I used to take care of my father in the past, I had the idea of becoming a caregiver. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is leaving their house clean and organized and being there for them and having conversations with them. A personal achievement I'm proud of is being there for my friend with cancer helping her clean her house and making her food.
