I started my caretaking journey working for duel diagnosed group homes. Then I worked for 15 years in the mental health field mainly at respites or rehabs. Growing up I had two aunts who were developmentally delayed. I learned quickly how harsh the world could be yet how much fun my aunts were. Caregiving is my passion.
