After a career in Marketing, Sales, and Business Development, I found my true calling in working with people and providing them the resources they need to be happy and fulfilled in their lives, even when they need a little help at home. I grew up surrounded by love and compassion and learned at a very early age what it meant to be a caretaker, both physically and emotionally. My sister had leukemia and my brother was born with disabilities. Although they have both since passed away, I will always remember their beautiful smiles, love, and appreciation for family and friends. One of my favorite quotes sums up caregiving for me: “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” My husband Dean and I have been happily married for 33 years. We have a lovely 29-year-old daughter, Alex, who is a registered nurse.
