I am a kind person who loves life, my family and will spend my life time helping others.

Bottom line to my story is I CARE.

My whole life I've cared for my family, starting with my Grandmother at the age of 18 years old. I Cared for her until she passed in 1991.

Took care of my Aunt Nena when she got ill in 2005  until she passed in 2008.

My other Aunt Mana became ill in 2013 and I cared for her until her last breath in 2019.

Now I care for my 93 year old Mother and my other Aunt Ernie she is 102 years old.

All  my Aunts I've mention are my Mother's sisters who all had a hand in raising me. They showed me how to be respectful, hard working, kind,  to live life happy and always live a life of love and to keep my faith strong.

I did all the above while still working at all my jobs, staying focus, staying committed and providing my best service to my customers and employers.
