This last year I left my Medical Assistant job to help care for my grandmother who had alzheimer's and a cancer re occurrence. She needed full time palliative care and eventually hospice. This was the hardest yet most rewarding job yet. All my training and skills prepared me for the privilege to give her the best possible care. My goal is to help you or your loved one be as independent and happy as possible with out stepping on any toes. In my experience with my in- laws who live in Ct., I came understand the challenges a family can face when deciding help is necessary. Sometimes this can be a difficult transition for some as they are not aware they need help or just don't want to accept any assistance from a stranger. I realize this is a delicate situation that takes time and patience to build a trusting relationship. My hope is to bring peace of mind to you and family members that you are getting the best care possible.

I took care of my Step-mother who has Arthritis very bad. She was always having joint pains & could barley get out of bed some days. So I moved in with her in 2013, and started helping her out with daily tasks. Showering, nail clippings, cooking breakfast, lunch & dinner. Made sure all her dishes were cleaned after. Made sure she took her medication when needed. I drove her to & from appointments or errands she needed to run. I'm very glad I met my step-mom, because after taking care of her for a year, it made me realize I wanted to be in the Medical field. I'm a very patient person, and I love to learn. I feel like I can never ask to many questions, and I can never stop learning. I took care of my little sister growing up, and that always made me more interested in caring for someone else rather than myself. I knew I was put on this earth to be a caregiver of some type, because there's days I go without eating just to make sure everyone else was fed and taken care of.
