10 Years Of Doing What I Love.

See profile
10 years ago I began my journey of working with individuals who have developmental disabilities. I love caring for people and the past 10 years have been amazing working in the D. D. community. It is what I was meant to do in my life. I would love to continue this journey with some new individuals I can care for.
