I I am a mother of 4 and a grandmother of four. I started taking care of children at 16 years old at a daycare center. I decided then and there that I love taking care of people. I'm very nurturing and kind-hearted I have more patience than the average person. After having children I decided I did not want anyone else to take care of them so I stayed in the daycare profession up until 2006. After leaving a job of assistant directing and Pre-K teacher for 17 years I decided I wanted to take care of the elderly. That is when I fell on the perfect job taking care of an elderly man that was very rough around the edges but something about him was calming. I do not have all the fancy degrees and diplomas like some people but I have basically grandfathered myself in to be and who I am. I'm very dedicated to my job and who I take care of.
