About Wendie

I am currently a Home Health Aid at IHSS. I have been doing this for 3 years. I began being a caregiver because I truly enjoy helping those in need. One personal achievement that I am very proud of is losing 100 plus pounds. I am proud of this because I was obese my entire life and showed myself and others that hard work and determination really do pay off. I truly enjoy helping those who can no longer help themselves.
