I absolutely love what I do. I love taking care of the elderly and getting to know them, hearing all the neat stories they have to share. I got into this business due to my mom. She worked for hospice and had a patient that needed help on the weekends. Due to her job my mom was not able to do it so she asked if I would. Hesitant at first, I decided to do it. She was 98 when I started and 99 when she passed. I fell in love with that woman and miss her terribly! I would most definitely, without a doubt, take care of your loved one the way I would take care of mine and would want my loved one taken care of.
