I've been a licensed cosmotoligst since 1987. In 2006 I sold my beauty shop and decided to stay home to take care of my grandmother, who raised me. I did all the housework, inside and out. I cooked for her, did her laundry,drove her wherever she wanted to go, ran errands helped her pay bills, took her to all Dr appointments, made sure she took her medicine, bathed her, helped her dress, shampooed and set her hair once a week...just anything she wanted and needed me to do I have done for her the past 12 years. She would tell everybody she could that livening with me was like being in a five star hotel. She was 92 when she passed away this past June, and I miss her very much. I often wonder about people that don't have anyone to take care of them when they can no longer do for their self. I want to b able to keep helping seniors stay in their home as long as they want...I am dependable and trustworthy, and willing to be a helpful companion.
