Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I put my heart into my job, for every job i do. I try and think how i would want to be treated by someone else, and do the job to the best of my ability and then some. I'm a very passionate person, and i take pride in what i do, and my work ethic. i am a home health aide for my full time job, and have been doing that for 3-4 yrs now and i LOVE it! before i was a home health aide (hha) i was a state tested nurse aide (stna) and worked in nursing homes. although i really loved my job, it took quite a toll on me. so i switched to home health and the difference is quite dramatic! u have so much more time for one-on-one with ur client, and the companionship is my fave part! u get to know ur client on a more personal level, as well as the family of ur client (if they r involved). i have the freedom to travel with my client, go to the store, out to lunch, or just for a drive. it's quite invigorating, really. i also have the joy of playing cards, puzzles, or just plain ole talking! i love what i do! =)

Even though I have only known Tina for a short time, she has been dependable and trustworthy. She has a compassionate heart and attitude for both humans and animals. I would completely trust Tina with my precious pups, a Westie and a Morkie!!
