I have been in the healthcare field since 2000, I have worked at hospitals nursing homes also have brought clients with nowhere to go in my home for care. I am CPR certified, first aid training & CNA certified. At one point, I even had a small business of caregivers. This involved myself accessing clients needs and providing proper qualified caregiver. At this time in my life, I prefer to use all my skills and positive personality to provide care to your loved one. I also have safe & reliable transportation for shopping Dr appointments, or just to get out and get some fresh air. I have great references available. I've also provided for two clients who are challenged,( with a safe and healthy home for the past 11 years (one sadly passed last year). My children are grown and out of the nest. I now have time to help you with your needs for quality care. Non smoker, great with pets. I am not even afraid to clean up that house that has gotten way out of hand for whatever reason.

    Debbie is an wonderful caring individual who provides great support and attention. Her willingness to learn about particular needs and adapt is a strength. My son who has Autism and is non-verbal has really taken to her and this without a doubt due to her attention, caring and desire to help. She also works well with me to identify what needs are expected to be met and strives to align.
