I am an experienced Emergency Room nurse who loves working closely with people in their homes. I have years of varying pediatric-senior home care experience as well. I have worked closely with a range of complex medical and behavioral/mental illnesses. I have taken care of people with trachs, ventilators, gtubes, and other medical devices. I love the nursing field and find caring for people in their homes to be one of the most rewarding aspects. I am from NYC and am comfortable around all kinds of beings.
