About Candice

My original start as a caregiver was due to an unfortunate heart attack and stroke of my stepfather whom became paraplegic as a result and I assisted my mother in caring for for 13 years until he passed away last year. And have been working in the care giving field for 10 years outside of that and its something I enjoy because I have a good and caring heart. I will be attending school in April 2015 to further my education in nursing and have attended and graduated from a CNA course and Medical Assisting along the way. I'm a hard worker and enjoy working along the family of a client to help ensure the best plan of care for their loved ones. I have had the pleasure of working with special needs children and adults

    Hi Everyone, I'm Demi. I'm a proud mother of 3 children. I have been in healthcare for 21 years. I am currently a Mental Health Counselor who is still achieving her education at Grand Canyon University online studies. I choose online because I can work at my on pace without it interfering with my career and or personal life. I love how I can be able to help someone else in their time of needs. It is a great passion of mines to make sure someone else's get the help they need. I have worked in nursing homes, in home, hospice, mental ward patients, schizo effect, Alzheimer's, shell shock syndrome, addictions and so much more. I believe I can be able to give them the mental support and care assistance they need
