I am out going and fun to be around. I can tell corny jokes and make sure that you are having a good day. I have many years of helping or taking care of older people. What attracted me to caregiving was being able to help people and to be able to hear their stories from their life. I definitely enjoy the stories and learning about people and what they have experienced. An achievement that I am proud of would be putting myself through college and aiming for both an associates and bachelors degree.

I have been working with people for most of my adult life. I have owned and operated my own preschool for 15 years. I have lived in Vermont for the past 11 years and I have worked in retail for most of those years. I have recently took a private care job with an elderly lady who is very capable of taking care of herself, I assist her with emails, grocery shopping, as well as driving her to and from appointments, etc. She is a delightful woman and I enjoy working with her so much. I have taken an interest in this field and would like to pursue further opportunities in working in this field. I am a very active person and I enjoy the outdoors very much, on my free time I am often outdoors either walking, hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, and taking many different fitness classes at the local spa in town. I went back to college as an adult 5 years ago and received my bachelors degree which I am very proud of that accomplishment, as it was not an easy task working and going to school, however I really enjoyed it, and met many people and found my classes very interesting. I hope to continue taking courses over the next few years as I continue to pursue other side interests such as cooking, and photography.
