Attention to detail
Cooking, sewing, art. Keeping fit and healthy.
I have always been a creative person, this shows in my home and my personal appearance. I enjoy drawing, painting and decorating my home. My mom taught me to cook at a early age and in high school I took up Home Economics and sewing as subjects. This has helped in in my career path, which is a caregiver and is one of the requirements with many clients.
I believe if you keep yourself fit, it will keep you healthy.
My moto is health is wealth.
