I'm a mother of three children. When I'm not caring for them I'm assisting my father, a 62 year old retired coal miner who also has spinal stenosis along with the early ages of lung cancer. I wanted to become a caregiver after my mother had two brain aneurysms in 2013 & I spent the following year assisting her until she made a full recovery. After that my father was diagnosed with lung cancer on top of having spinal stenosis from an accident in the coal mines. I assist him and my mother both, daily with house chores, appointment reminders & scheduling as well as food preparation. I genuinely love interacting with people and knowing that I helped make someone's day a little easier.
