Profile
I started as a caregiver when I was about 14 yrs old, taking care of seniors who were friends to my family & neighbors. I went on to college, worked other types of job and continued with caregiving including my own parents as well. I am a former pre-K teacher and I truly enjoyed teaching as well as being a mental health youth counselor. I enjoy the opportunities to hear life stories and the rich history our seniors have witnessed. I am very domestic by nature and caring for others is deeply imbedded in who I am. I look forward to caring for your loved one.
