I didn't choose to become a caregiver, it chose me. As a young child my mother had a stroke and I was in charge of making sure she took the meds in her cup. Helping her made me feel proud and I Iiked being apart of the recovery process. Fast forward to high school and I enrolled in the CNA program. I passed my MD state boards in 1997. Since that time I've gained experience in the hospital and nurising home setting. Most of my employment has been as a private sitter. I statrted out first with a home health company. I branched out on my own in 2005. Since then I have served several private clients. I truly love what I do and consider it my passion!
