Jerry Shawn

I have been in the care field for the past 12 years and I have loved every minute of it. I have found it rewarding to be involved in something that could bring valuable changes in society. I have always enjoyed being directly involved with the people we care for rather than being behind a desk. Unfortunately I have had to cut down my work load due to a stress related illness I discovered recently. I fell that by joining this service I can put my skills to good use without stress.
