I am a very skilled 'de-escalator' for explosive outbursts and I'm a very patient person. I enjoy the challenge of trying to help people everyday. I am also a retired Deputy Sheriff. Background check already paid and available to you. I believe in positive reinforcement! My experience is with kids of all ages as well as adults. (Animal Lover too!)

    What a terrific caregiver! We hired Heather for post-op care for my special needs brother. She arrived early and was wonderful to work with. Excellent communication, very personable, and very helpful. Would definitely hire her again!
