I have been a care giver since 2005 and have worked with a wide range of needs and limitations. I started a small LLC in 2014 which focuses on care giving while providing the opportunity for the client to enjoy going to visit family or taking a vacation. I believe care giving goes beyond medical needs and must touch every area of a person's life.

I found my calling after years of taking care of my elderly parents and also my own family. I took a job near my home assisting a RN and an LVN to care for 6 mentally and physically challenged adults in a group home. I fell in love with the job and was heart sick, when a year later, the group home closed, due to lack of funding from the state. I decided to go back to school and earn my CNA certification. I served an internship at three different assisted living facilities during my training and was convinced that this was the field I was happiest in. I got a job I love and have been kept busy but would like some extra work in addition to my regular job. I have good references from people who know my good work history.

When I was a teenager, my grandmother needed extra care and my mother didn't always have time to do everything necessary, so I stepped in and shared in the care of my grandmother. She always told me that I would make a great care giver and that I could bring joy to alot of people due to my compassionate personality. Also, when my late husband had Leukemia, I cared for him in all facets of the care, including bathing, feeding, helping in the bathroom, etc., until he died 2 years ago. I also cared for my best friend, til she died from heart failure a few years ago. I believe that these experiences have solidified my ability and desire to help others, even if it is simply in the capacity of companion. **About my fee; my fee ranges any where between 13.00 per hour to 15.00 per hour depending on the case, the work involved and the time of day.

I've always enjoyed helping the elderly since I was very young. I guess that happens when your grandparents take care of you while mom is out trying to make money so we can survive. I've been fortunate enough to have lived and cared for 3 different grandparents during their final years. Although end of life is a challenge I can't tell you how many times we were laughing and just enjoying a simple day. Being with them, while all situations are different, Was a blessing.
