In the past I worked very closely with a family who had two mentally handicapped boys. I came in 20 hours/week to support the mother and the family. I ended up moving in with them for a year. It was a beautiful time of my life. I met the mother while volunteering with Special Olympics. Also, I'm the mother of three girls, all older now, and, to add a side note, I am the creator of Courage Reins, a non-profit therapeutic riding center in Highland, Utah I'm really proud of that little project, still running strong all these years later. I'm 45, educated, and a professional life coach with a big heart for service. Finally, I'm an ordained Interfaith & Inter-spiritual Minister. I'm definitely over qualified! But, honestly, if I can earn $15/hour, this would be a win-win. I promise!

    Out of all the caregivers I hired for my mother, Gwen far exceeded any and all expectations! She was the most dependable, thorough, dynamic and intuitive. My only regret is that I wish I had found her years earlier.
