Summary

I have taken care of people in extensive x1, extensive x2, or dependent need for 15 years in either a home or facility setting. I am very good at what I do. I am enrolling in qma classes in August so I am furthering my education in this field seeing as I believe it is my true calling. I specialize in memory care, dementia, combative residents. But I am versatile in what I do.
