I'd describe my personality as a Bubbly person, super organized and I would say I'm quite an outgoing person I like caring for seniors because of the wisdom you receive from them while in the process of doing your job. I love taking care of the elderly because they are so sweet and it just fulfils my heart to be able to assist them in anyway I can. I started caring for seniors when I was very young. I fell in love with taking care of seniors right there and then. Been doing it ever since. In my spare time, I like to Read, listen to music. But honestly I read a lot One thing you should know about me is that I am a very quiet person. I don't drink alcohol or smoke. I'm a very hardworking person. My skills include Cooking as I am a professional chef, I am computer literate and super organized.

Akhona is a God-send! She's just amazing with my mother-in-law who has Alzheimer's. Akhona is kind, encouraging, attentive and creative with their time together. Mom loves her! Akhona was quick to become well accounted to their home and Mom's needs and desires. When I visited and we were in a conversation, I was impressed to see that Akhona was well in tune to my MIL's needs. Even as I was speaking, Akhona noticed Mom was getting a little antsy, and she immediately asked Mom if she needed to use the restroom. Mom did, and Akhona saw to her needs. I was impressed that we could be chatting, and yet, Akhona's attention wasn't straying from Mom's care. We love Akhona and hope she'll be with us a long while to come! Mom has absolutely blossomed in her care!
