Add to FavoritesAbout James
I am a friendly, knowledgeable person, who genuinely cares about others. When beginning with others I am often quick to gauge the best methods of approach. It is incredibly hard - even for the most open among us - to admit the need for assistance -much less open up our home, lives and failing bodies and minds to a stranger. I've had many introductions in my years and Ive become pretty good with the "Icebreaker". There are situations where acceptance is a bit more complicated, but, some of my best work relationships are forged in slow starts. I come from an example of honor and love in caring for others.-my Mother has spent her entire life, since 5 yrs. old making a difference to someone in need. She has been in nursing and caregiving since she was 5 years old helping her great aunt who ran a home for elderly widows. She is now 70 years old and continues to work with grateful families and patients. There is hardly anything I can't ask her when I get stumped in helping one of my clients. There are occasions and things the medical teams aren't familiar with, nor will they share which can be of benefit to someone suffering. In closing , I believe it is my mission here to be of service to those I may help; and my desire is that each of those individuals know that it is my privilege to be of help to them . I have a simple code that I work by, "Always Leave Someone Better Than You Found Them. "
