Selma High School

I became a caregiver when I got out of high school. I have worked in all kinds of facilities in Fresno and in Utah. I have done private care in peoples home with 24hr care in clients homes. I love the work and you get to hear all the stories about their life and I feel that people should not have to go to a nursing home for care, when they can be cared for in the comfort of their own home. I am a people person who likes being around people on a one on one bases.
