I fell in love with caregiving first, when caring for my grandmother the year before she passed from Alzheimer's. Later caring for two other women before coming home with my children for COVID. I feel now God is nudging me to reach out offering care to others.
I am a mother of two. I work with elderly special needs and have had a lot of experience working with young children. I am CMT and CPR FA/AED certified.
