About Barbara

I am gifted in nurturing, have much compassion, providing a warm and loving atmosphere for anyone, especially children and the elderly. I became interested in caregiving when I assisted in the care of my great friend dealing with liver disease. This really sparked my interest in caregiving. I then took CNA classes, more to learn how to properly lift safely for the recipient and for myself. I love taking care of people! It is a selfless job, however, it is rewarding for me. At the age of 55 I gruaduated from Victory Bible Institute in Tulsa, Oklahoma!
