About Roqueta

I am a 34 year old single mother to one child. I am very outgoing, love to laugh, I get along with pretty much everyone I cross paths with, and I am very dependable. For as long as I can remember, I've always loved caring for others. I had an older cousin who was like an aunt to me, whom was a paraplegic that I cared for a lot. Believe it or not she taught me a lot as far as caring for those who are in great need. I enjoy being a caregiver because it gives me great comfort in caring for others. I'm most proud of being a single mom and putting myself through nursing school.
