A caregiver by nature, I have 10 years of experience between nursing home care, hospital care and in-home care. I am sarcastic, witty, smart and funny. While doing care, I try to keep it light with jokes and intellectual conversation. I love to hear about life stories and where life's adventures have taken you.
