About Barbara

I have worked at various jobs and have never really enjoyed what I was doing. Then a friend of mine suggested I try being a Caregiver. I LOVE MY JOB!! I have been working with the elderly for 6 years now. I feel I can relate to my clients being a baby boomer. I feel appreciated and loved in my job and like to get my clients to laugh and smile. I have been asked back by my clients.I come from a large family of 6 kids and we get together on holidays. My hobbies were golf, tennis, snorkeling, gardening and skiing. I love to travel and have been all over the world. I enjoy cooking and think I am a good cook. I also like to watch T.V. and work on my computer. like pets too.
