I have been in the medical field for 30 years. I started out as a Nurses Aide in High School taking care of residents in skilled/non skilled nursing homes and have also done a lot of home health care to include general companionship, ALS, Dementia and Alzheimer. I joined the United States Navy when I was 17 years, served 20 honorable years as a Hospital Corpsman/Combat Corpsman. I have had extensive training in Trauma, First Aid, CPR and was an EMT/Ambulance driver for 8 years while in the military. I have worked in both hospital settings and clinic settings. After retiring from the Navy, I was a Medical Assistant Instructor for multiple schools in the DFW metropolis, was the Program Director for the Medical/Dental program at a local Vocational School and a Practice Manager for Texas Health Resources for an Internal Medicine and Rheumatology office. My passion is caring for people who cannot care for themselves.

I lovingly called Cheryl "Chief" since she is a retired Navy Chief that was also a hospital corpsman. I never had to worry about anything regarding medical knowledge because she knew it! Cheryl worked for me for 3 years as a private caregiver for me for my mom with Alzheimer's. She was funny and entertaining to mom as well as rigorous in not letting anything get outside of her knowledge or control. At one point she managed my team of 5 caregivers to take the stress off me. You can trust her completely with anything, and be absolutely sure she will get it done. She went above and beyond her duties. I will absolutely hire her again if I need her. She has the great old style work ethic, where "on-time" means 15 minutes early. Which is what I expect out of great people. She's great, and if you don't snatch her up, you'll have to wait for another great Chief to magically appear in your life.
