I am a RN currently pursing my M.S. Midwifery degree. My first "job" was providing in-home care and companionship to a young woman, and I have carried that experience with me as I continue to grow as a healthcare provider in an increasingly impersonal healthcare environment. I am reliable, honest, hardworking, friendly, understanding and compassionate. I know first-hand how meaningful it can be to care for family members, but also how important respite is to be able to provide the best care and maintain balance.

There are many reasons I am interested in being a care giver. For several years I was the recipient of home care in many ways after a rather serious surgery One of the things I missed most during my recovery was some camaraderie, in other words it would have been great to have that kind of relationship with the person receiving the care. I said that if I ever am strong enough and can I would like to give back.
