Lakisha’s Bio

I am currently in school online, taking courses to be able to get my marriage and family therapy license. I have a masters in adult education and training and 2 degrees in psychology. Outside of my academic career.. I was a caregiver for both my parents until they were deceased. I am a mother, of 4 and my son is in School Virtually for in his last year in elementary. I am seeking an opportunity to be of assistance to another family. As I am familiar with how hard it is to be a caregiver in seeing so many unfortunate, elderly individuals with mental health, not have the car they deserve.. the only limitation that I currently have is that I am not mobile I post my car because of electrical malfunctions and I will always have my 10 year old Son with me. If there is a family that can understand how important it is to be a mother and how hard it is to get around because my car broke down, I am so happy to be part.
