I'm kind, compassionate and caring. My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's while I was in high school and I have a nephew on the Autism spectrum. I already had the personality that suits being a caretaker and as I experienced life with my grandmother and nephew my interest in helping others who are struggling in similar ways, heightened. I went to college for nursing and worked in a nursing home as a Nurses Aid for a semester.I did not complete college as My life took a different path. I met my husband who was raising his four children and along with my three became a quick family of seven young children. Raising seven children definitely helped prepare me further for this path. While Raising our children I often cared for other children in our home. Caretaking with the elderly & special needs fell into my lap. I was cleaning homes and started taking care of an elderly couple, who's home I was cleaning, The couples children asked me if I would start staying with them- I did and I found it rewarding. Most of the work I've done in this field, since then, has been by word of mouth. Though, I've been hired through CareLinx several times and worked with a home health company for two years. I enjoy the work & believe it's a life calling.
