I am happy, loving, kind, compassionate, a positive attitude and calm energy. I love holistic health, acupuncture, meditation, qi gong, massage, and herbal remedies. My skills include healthy communication, paying close attention to details, working efficiently and focusing on safety. I am self motivated, hardworking and keep busy. I'm a quick learner with an open mind. In my spare time, I like beach walks, forest hikes, ocean kayaking, gardening, healthy cooking, live music, dancing, creating art, playing with my dog, visiting family and friends, reading books and writing poetry. I am honest and trustworthy. I speak my truth and have nothing to hide. I follow instructions and take pride in caring for others, as though you and your loved ones were my own family members. I've raised 2 amazing children who are now in college. I help manage caregivers for my elderly mother who lives out of town. I am excited to meet you and look forward to an in-person interview.
Darcy is wonderful. Smart. Reliable and truly caring. On top of that she's great with our slightly odd dog. Manages a grumpy old man and gets him interested in music and even food and seems to have endless patience. Very organized, energetic and very honest . She really is great!
