I also have a Bachelors in Psychology and a Bachelors in Communication from the UH of Hilo. I live in Volcano, Hawaii and look forward to helping your family.

My mom's health has been quite a rollercoaster for her. She's currently in the hospital. Been hospitalized since January of this year. After helping her over some years with her business and caring for her, it's made love serving others even more. I've been by my mother's side for the last so many months. Still managing to work, do online schooling and be the for her makes me want to help others even more. I've attended workshops and seminars regarding health issues. With the skills and knowledge I've gained from helping nurses and caring for my mom, I can use it towards caring for others especially the elderly.

"Classy Care." Taking care of others is my passion and purpose! I love to provide thoughtful care to those who need it and I'm a happy companion, bringing lightness and joy into the lives of people. I am extremely organized and great at easy conversation, preparing meals, anticipating needs, and making people feel comfortable, calm and peaceful. I took care of both of my grandmothers as they aged, and my 10+ years background as a personal assistant and executive assistant ensures the value of my experience.

I love working with elders, my grandma has alzheimer's and I take care of her at home. I am a very Good communicator when it comes to elders along with my stellar organization. I have the ability to work under pressure and I am very patient with people. I am very good at time management, I work well with others, and I am a fast learner.

I am currently active duty but have a flexible schedule in the afternoon, nights and available on weekends. Prior to the Army I worked as a behavioral therapist in a in home care agency in Columbia, SC.

What makes me a great caregiver is I Love what I do. I have always wanted to be a nurse and help people and becoming a nurse aide allows me to do that. A personal achievement that I am proud of is becoming a Mom and now a Grandma. My Family means the world to me.
