I have two children and have been a stay-at-home mother for the past 19 years . I celebrated a milestone of 25 years of marriage with my husband this past year and have one absolutely wonderful dog named "Henley!!" I love being a home-maker and would like to bring my cheerful, compassionate and caring personality into the life of a senior. I worked outside the home as a Medical Secretary/Office Manager for 9 years before having children, as well as, worked in part-time retail seasonally.

I have no formal experience in working with seniors but have always spent a lot of time with my grandparents and now aging parents. I cared extensively for my Mother a few years ago as she battled and lost her life to cancer. I have voluntarily gone and spent time with seniors in seniors homes in my hometown doing puzzles, playing card games and visiting.

My hobbies are endless and some include gardening, painting, sewing, scrapbooking, cooking, baking, crafting and knitting. I love to decorate and celebrate all the seasons!!

I enjoy getting outside with my family or walking our dog. I basically love to be active and involved wherever and whenever I can.

I have very strong family values, am very committed and know my personality would brighten and help bring a smile to someone who needs companionship!!
