Accomplishments
I was a successful business owner of a cleaning service of 12 years and at that time, I created a cleaning product line that launched in southern alberta Coop & Sobey's/Safeway grocery chains.
My kids have grown and moved on with their lives and now I have changed career's to work with seniors as I did not have the opportunity of spending time with my grandparents when they were here.
We laugh, smile, reminisce, go for walks and just enjoy the simple joys in their life. I like being a small part of that with them.
