I'm A Very Respectable And Trust Worthy Person. I Have Great Rapport With All My Clientele.

I actually went to school to train for this position; it became a passion of mine after having to deal with my brother's epilepsy. As a child, that was very hard for me, but as I got older, I decided to get trained in case there were ever a incident outside of my home where I could help the person in need.
