I'm relational, make decisions based on serving others beside myself, adaptable and creative to external circumstances, open to opportunities and challenges, self motivated. I lovingly cared for my father in law in our home on scheduled weekends. Provided companionship, listened and learned from his life stories; cooked his favorite meals and adventured together on fun outings. Transported him to dialysis from his home for a period of time.

I am genuinely interested in giving support and assistance to others. My father was paralyzed and in the hospital for a long time. I learned the patience of waiting while mom visited him. After dad died in the hospital my mother took my brother and I to visit weekly at the nursing homes in our community. At the beginning we were visiting people who were mom's friends or friends of the family and later we visited people who became friends with us. I will always remember how their faces lighted up when we visited. I know the feeling of one kind act as I myself am a cancer survivor and my caregivers and visitors are very dear to me and significant in my recovery.

I became a caregiver because at a young age my mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I then became passionate about assisting and being apart of people's journey in dealing or recovering from their medical issues. I enjoy being a companion to those in need and I am proud of what I do.

I am an experienced Certified Nursing Assistant since 2004. I have also organized my own massage business since 2003. During this time I have enjoyed lots of research through general education for the RN program and am currently taking a break from school to focus on family, work, and relocating . I am a creative open-minded person so I enjoy adding wholistic and alternative healing modalities that feed into all levels of healing when do desired by the client. I believe what is healing to one person is individually unique and should be carefully considered while keeping the clients' rights of choice & preference in the forefront of forming a perfect care-plan. From there we can learn together and see what will evolve into what works the best- all things considered.
