I'm a wonderful care giver and I have been in the medical field for 34+ years, I enjoy taking care of patients. I hope to someday returning to school and becoming an RN. I have spent most of my life caring for others because it gives me so much joy to be able to care for clients and give them the security of a compassionate caregiver who loves what she does..
