About Candace

I am a newly graduated RN after being a Licensed Practical Nurse since 2010, I have worked in various settings, I have found that I would like to be able to give one to one care where my time is not cut short or the care is not in a hurry. I want to be a personal caregiver to make a difference every day. A personal achievement would be returning to school at 42 after raising my children. Putting God first in my life and making a difference. I enjoy reading, listening to music of all kinds, the beach, traveling and spending time with my husband, grown children and first grandchild.
