About Anne

I am an extrovert, always smiling & seldom sit! If I can add a smile to someone's day or make them feel special, then both of us will have a rewarding day! I was a pediatric ophthalmology specialist in Canada; when we were transferred to the USA, I began a food manufacturing company. A friend approached me in 2015 to ask if I would help with their mum who was near vegetative status due to progressing dementia and being alone. Four months later, this beautiful Lady was walking, singing, dancing, and cooking with me - one of the most self-gratifying endeavors of my life. Now living in the beautiful hill country, retirement is not satisfying - I do volunteer at the VA hospital just to see these heroes smile, laugh & have someone to listen to them... and of course plenty of hugs! I would treasure being able to help another person find enjoyment in life. Hence, I am adding my profile here. *Dog lover yet terrified of cats! *COVID vaccine x2 by VA hospital. *Infusion by Peterson Hosp.

Annie is not a baby sitter! She fully engages with her client and achieves phenomenal results. Annie cares deeply about her calling and at least in our case, she achieved a miracle. My wife went from being extremely frail and weak to being in very good condition. Annie kept her engaged mentally and physically for the entire time they spent together, and they both thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We highly recommend Annie as a caregiver and a friend!

I feel that I am a great caregiver, because I love people and I have a compassion to make their lives full of quality and really love on and take care of them I am proud of this trait I love being a caregiver, because I love making people smile and making a change in their lives. I focus on every detail . there is no detail too small or too large that can't somehow be resolved if it is important to the person I would be giving care to than it is important to me. I am a Christian and that reflects in everything I do.
