About Denise

I am compassionate, caring, interested, loving, kind, gentle. I've always been drawn to seniors. When I was a child, my mom said she could always find me with the senior neighbors visiting. I enjoy being someone seniors can depend on & love getting to know them, listening to their life stories. My biggest personal achievement is being a Grammie to 6 wonderful children.
