About Lisa

The reason I have a heart of caring for people is due to my upbringing. I grew up in a home of love and respect for everyone. One of those caregiving times was of my grandmother while she remained home in her aging years. I am the youngest of 19 grandkids who all took turns taking care of her. I have always enjoyed serving others and knew the place for me was in the medical field. I am a caring, compassionate and loving person who cares for people in the way I want to be treated and that is with dignity and respect. I have always enjoyed taking care of our elderly and I believe that reason is due to taking care of my grandmother at an early age. I enjoy talking with them, listening to their life stories, taking in all their wisdom and knowledge about life. I raised 3 kids and now a grandparent and my greatest achievement are my family. My kids have grown up to be successful in their own ways and to know that puts a smile on my face and in my heart.

My name is Keyanah! I am currently a nanny twice a week and I waitress on the weekends. I'd save I've been a caregiver since I was 17 and I am currently 22. I love love caring for people whether that is the elderly, children, or simply someone in need. I have been a licensed CNA, but have not had a chance to get certified again in Illinois since I moved back here from Florida! The medical field is my true passion and I hope to start nursing school by the fall this year! :)
