About Wanda

I am a highly respected caregiver mainly to children of all ages for approximately 25 years. I have diligently and proudly worked my way through the ranks in this filed from beginning as a cook to owner/operator of my own home childcare business.

It is with great pride I have in myself, to see the joy, smiles, laughter and sense of security that people of all ages from young to old have found in me.

I was a turning point in my life to experience this first hand as a daughter and eventually caregiver in all aspects working with hospice nurses teaching me and guiding me through the steps from the beginning to the end of his life. That was a profound time in my life and have been forever changed since. This truly is the most rewarding and personal achievement in my life that I have experienced thus far in giving what quality of life to to my father 24/7 without having to
