I am a mother to three beautiful girls ages 13, 22, and 26. I also have an adorable 1.5 yr old grandson whom I spend a lot of time with. I have been working as a caregiver for seniors for the past two years. I love working with and helping people of all ages. I practice patience, kindness, and love in everything I do ❤️ I provide care for a senior on Mondays and Fridays, so my availability is limited to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am currently booked with a family through May, but will be available to additional families beginning in June.

Suzanne is thoughtful and comes with a plan for the day . She is organized and it’s been a joy to work with her
