I am a retired firefighter/paramedic and have also worked in the medical field for an additional 10-15 years before that. I have many years of caring for my own family and working as a caregiver. I know how hard it is to find people to come into your home that you can trust and that can be there for you and your loved ones. Being that I dealt with that with my own family, I am very passionate about helping those in need with the care and kindness that they deserve. My entire career has been spent working with and caring for patients and their families. I have cared for patients with all types of medical illnesses and disabilities. Also, for years, part of each job has included housecleaning, doing laundry, running errands, assisting with keeping a home running smoothly, and assisting with whatever other tasks arise.
