I want you to know that I see you and I am happy to serve you. It’s not a chore, it’s a joy and a privilege.
I worry mostly about mothers. Mothers always seem to get the most blame for everything that goes wrong with their child. Often mothers are overwhelmed, frustrated, and depressed. So you talk, I listen; tell me what you need and I will do my best to help you get it.
My job is to help guide, comfort and support you in your efforts to provide the best care possible for your child. I will you give you my best advice based on my training and experience.
Your job is to pick and choose the advice that works best for you and your family. There is no right or wrong, good or bad answers; it is only what will meet your needs.
I want them to know that I am their partner who enjoys assisting them in accessing services that their clients need.
