About Teresa

I believe that I am a great caregiver because I have been in Healthcare for 20 years in different medical settings. I also am the oldest of seven children whose mother is still living at age 86. Although my Mother lives in another state, I am always willing to help her via long distance with what she has been told at doctor's appointments or her concerns about her symptoms. I desire to become a Senior Caregiver due to my desire to help our aging population in some way using the medical experience and compassion that I have.
