About Lisa

I am very compassionate about seniors and love helping them so they can stay in their homes longer. I am very patient and have nine years of experience in this field. I started out working as a Caregiver because I've always been a Caregiver in some way or another and quickly realized how much I enjoy working with seniors and how patient I am with them. I know that some days I will be the only face they see so I want to make them smile and make it count. The thing I most enjoy is seeing how happy I make them and knowing not only that they need help but that I am the one who is able to help them. I find this job very rewarding in that aspect. I have had so many clients tell me how it takes a special person to do this job, that I'm definitely one of those people and to never give it up because a lot of people need me. Just hearing those words make me realize I'm doing the right thing and that makes me proud.
