Hi!
I am a Canadian born and raised caregiver whose caregiving began in early childhood as the eldest of 5. I'm very independent, well balanced, intelligent, intuitive, compassionate, versatile, easily adaptable, social, talkative but know when not to be, quick minded, and empathetic.
I was a single mom to my now 32 year old son, whose thriving very well and long ago on his own. I've had horses in my past, and love animals. I don't have grandbabies yet but am looking forward to them when they come into the world. I now would like to pull back from the corporate aspects of the insane amounts of restrictions, home health care finds itself at.
I believe people should be permitted their dignity and as much independence that they posses and have always worked by the philosophy of, I'm here to assist with, not take over for. Meeting people where they are at, and absolutely rehabilitative orientated for those wishing to move forward as they can. I'm also very client/patient advocated.
I love gardening, music, dancing, comedies, laughter, forest walks, summer, research, learning, naturopathic minded, reading.
