I have more than 25 yrs experience in being a caregiver, I am not only a parent of 2 grown children, I have been a Licensed Foster Parent, for more than 17 yrs, I have had over 550 children in my home at some point during my foster care time. In 2010 I received the award for Best Foster Parent, with my Agency. I also received one in 2011. It has been a passion with me since I was very young to help others. .

I have worked with Alzheimer's patients and those with dementia from the age of 19 to age 30. I started in Wisconsin as a caregiver for New Perspectives. In a couple of years I became the live in for this group home. I helped with all daily cares and medication administration. I later received my CNA license and continued to work in Colorado and later Texas I was also flight attendant in between this time. At the age of 30, we had our first child and I have been an at home mother of three children since 2004. I love those that are affected by Alzheimers and now that my children are getting older, would love to work with them again.
