The reason why I love working at OAC is because I have the love for our clients. I do not look at them as if they have a handicap, but that they are a part of my everyday life that keeps me going. Yes, I am here to take care of them, but each one of the Cane Ridge Women have a special moment with me that makes me say I made a good choice of choosing OAC. Of course there will be challenges, anywhere you go will be some but me at the Cane Ridge women house make me say a lot that is why I love working at OAC.

At a time when I was terrified of where my life was going to take me, Open Arms Care was there to provide me with an experience I could have never imagined. As a 17-year employee of Greene Valley Developmental Center, I had the pleasure of meeting two incredible ladies that put tremendous faith in me to do a job that I would have never imagined myself doing. I will never forget all of the amazing people that I have met as part of the Open Arms Care family.
