I grew up in a medical family, so care giving has always come naturally to me. During high school and college, I worked in a physician's office and gained "hands on" experience that was priceless. I continued working in medicine until my mentor retired in 1998. Then, I transitioned into recreational therapy and respite care. Most of the people who hired me were RN's who relied on my support while they were working outside their home. As a result, I gained invaluable experience in home settings, not only as a caregiver, but as a companion, friend and helper. I have worked with several people with physical challenges and have found that work to be the most rewarding.

My family and I really lucked out when we hired Debbie! She had a background in medicine, respite care and recreational therapy. That was exactly what we needed for my mother. She literally became an integral part of our family. She not only took excellent care if my Mom but raised her spirits immeasurably. She cooked some of her favorite dishes, dispensed her meds accurately, played games with her & was the best companion ever. I swear that God sent her to us. She remained working for us until the very end. What an angel!
