About Pamela

What makes me a great caregiver is that I'm upbeat with energy to dance, walks, parks/gardens or taken in a local concert with active clients. I enjoy watching sports with my clients live or TV, working on puzzles or just have a quiet time looking thru photos, books. I became a caregiver after caring for grandmother, father-in-law, and friend's family members. I enjoy being a caregiver to assist both client and the family with daily chores, making things easier for client, giving the family peace of mind their love one is in the best hands as I would want for my own family. They can spend time with their own family if needed. My personal achievements is having a beautiful smart daughter who has given me 3 beautiful healthy grandchildren that bring joy to my life every time I'm with them. I'm happy with the times I bring joy a family who's love one needs care. Nervous about the future, but soon able to relax and spend memorable times with them, let the caregivers handle the weight.
