I have been caring for people of all ages with special needs most of my life. I have two life long diseases myself and they have helped me learn a lot. I want to take what I have learned from my own life experiences to help others. I have had type one diabetes and celiac disease since I was 4 years old. I faced many complications leaving me hospitalized for months at a time when I was a little girl. I understand how difficult it is to live with a disease. Now I am very healthy and I want to help other people with life complications. I have experience with administering many different types of shots for example insulin injections and EPI pens to name a few. I am very patient, kind, caring, punctual, and professional. I worked with a healthcare organization for two years (I resigned because I moved to a different state) as an in home personal caregiver for people of all ages. Before that, I was a nanny for many different families with children from ages newborn to teenagers and all with their own very special needs.

    Kayla is a sweet hard working girl. In spite of her size, she accomplishes a lot. I hired her to help me clean house and cook dinner for us everyday. She is very dependable, showing up on time and doing a good job. She is easy to get along with, has a lot of good ideas and is fun to know. Any one who hires her will be very pleased.
