I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for over 30 years. Part of that time I was a Medical Assistant. I became a caregiver originally to help family members, and found that I enjoyed it so much that I made it my career. I am most proud of the fact that I make lives better and increase the social life of my clients.

Hello. My Name is Amy. I have been a care giver since 2009 when my son was born. He was born with spinal muscular atrophy and since then he has taught me almost everything I know. My journey into caregiving grew more and more throughout the years. My son has been not only my inspiration but has taught me so much about life, compassion, patience, understanding things I may have not understood before. My goal is to provide the best care for your family.
