About Paula

I am a great caregiver because I do not see caregiving as a job. I see it as a privilege given to me from the family. I see caregiving as an opportunity to help a family take care of their most precious asset. I find happiness in helping others. I am patient, loving and will go the extra mile for the families I work for. My own grandmother was my inspiration for going into this field of service.

I became a caregiver because I have always enjoyed helping people and find it rewarding. What I like about being a caregiver is knowing that I can make a difference in someone's life and the lasting relationships I build with those I care for. I currently have 24 yrs experience being a caregiver, mainly hands on experience with Alzheimer's, dementia, cancer, and paraplegic clients. I am a happy go lucky person full of energy and guaranteed to brighten your day no matter what. I do believe this is my calling in life.
