About Patricia

I became a Caregiver because I recognized the need for genuine people to care for those who have aged and those who have been strickened with medical conditions. I enjoy making them feel safe; making them laugh; giving them the assurance that I'll be there for them. I get pleasure after seeing them feel alive again. I am very sensitive and respectful toward the elderly since I know that I will be an elderly woman, one day. I enjoy the outdoors, and my grand children. I love cooking, entertaining, traveling, and movies.
