I knew at a very young age ( 12 ) that I wanted to take care of the elderly. I use to go to work with my mom, who was a LVN, and help her with her patients. I loved every minute of it! At the age of 19, I received my license and began to care for the elderly on my own. By word of mouth, my name became very well known around the community where I lived at that time and I was as busy as one could be. I love assuring my clients are safe, clean, happy and comfortable. I love to cook and clean as well. I'm very comfortable around pets and I do not smoke. It's very common for me to stay extended hours if I feel like my clients need me for any reason whatsoever. My clients know from the first day that they can contact me anytime day or night and I will assist with them and their needs. I love working hospice as well, and have done hospice work for over 25 years. It's a very rewarding feeling knowing my clients left this earth clean, comfortable and loved. My life revolves around my clients . I love learning from them and with them, laughing with them and loving them. The last 27 years has been a dream come true ! I hope that it continues for another 27! Thank you! Terri Burlison
