I ran my own beauty business for over 20yrs and it physically got too much for me and needed a change. I enjoy interacting with people, I'm a giver and nurturer. I didn't like the thought of being idle and attempted volunteering at old age homes and nursing homes.

I came across a company abroad that offered training for caregiving and decided to go that route. That was 3 years ago. They are UK based and I spend up to 6 months abroad then came back home.

I enjoy looking after the elderly and being a companion taking care of their needs. I love reading and watching good documentaries and quiz programs on TV. I have 3 sons and 2 granddaughters.
