Lissa’s Bio

Hi, my name is Lissa. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with over 15 years experience caring for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities such as Asperger's, Schizophrenia, Down Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Epilepsy. I also have extensive experience with the elderly suffering from Dementia & Alzheimer's providing all aspects of ADL's.

More than all my background experience though, I care very deeply for others and want to help those who cannot help themselves. I have never had a client yet who didn't love me or I them. I bond very quickly with people because I relate to them on their level, whatever that may be.

I'm 51, not a young kid meaning, I come from a different era where a strong work ethic was taught early on which translates into dependability.

If you have a need to have your loved one cared for in your home when you cannot be present, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will provide my availability & fees so that you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved one is in good hands.
