About April

I enjoy helping people, and I am a welcoming, energetic, and kind person. I grew up next door to my grandparents, helping with their garden, cooking, providing transportation to appointments, and hanging out. In college, I had multiple caregiving positions from helping with memory care to severe injuries, and I appreciated the challenge and joy that came with each position.
