About Kyra

Everyone loves me, I have a little brother with autism. He shows me that by being patient with him really gets the job done. I've improved on my tone of language and also being patient with him. I've became a caregiver to help all those who needs an extra hand sharing my love with others. When I was younger my great grandmother stated" When you get older you'll be the best nurse there is." I love to see my clients smile, after they doubted theirselves for not doing something right with out any help. I can say I'm very proud of myself for becoming an outstanding caregiver and I want to thank all the senior I've met throughout my life who told me I would be something in life.
