Bio

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CAREGIVER?    

31 years  
 

WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO BECOME A CAREGIVER?    

I feel God chose me to do this.


WHAT ASPECT OF YOUR JOB ARE YOU MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT?  

At the end of the day I can walk away knowing that I have given my best to help my client and make them happy.


HOW ARE YOU MAKING THINGS MORE POSSIBLE FOR YOUR BRIGHTSTAR CLIENTS?  

I am very conscious of always making sure my client’s wellbeing is safe. I give my clients a feeling of safety. 


WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER CAREGIVERS? 

Have patience and heart


TELL US YOUR FAVORITE CAREGIVING MOMENT/STORY:  

While working at the VA I had a client at the end stage of life with no family. He was HIV +, dying, and didn’t want to be alone. He asked me to stay with him so he wouldn’t be alone when he died and I did.


HOW DO YOU RE-ENERGIZE? 

I Pray. I have a strong relationship with God that gives me faith.
