I became a care giver in 1992 assisting my Mother. Since that time I have enjoyed reaching out to people who are in need of in home care, transportation and companionship; and, assisting with their daily activities of life. In March of 2012, I became my Father's care giver, assisting him in the retirement community where he lived. The retirement community provided assisted living care; and, I was able to learn a lot of skills following their instruction, which enabled me to be of a greater help to my Father. I truly enjoy assisting people and bringing a sense of pride, helping to uplift their spirits while providing support to their daily lives.
