My name is Elvis Williams. I have a degree in Business Administration. I also have attended Savannah Voc Tech. I studied Accounting. I was a Assistant Manager at K-Mart. I was also a Manager at Jiffy convenience stores. My experience extends into holding a position as Assistant Washman at National Linen, etc. So, although I have work many jobs, my latest preoccupation has been in the field of Caregiving. I cared for my Mother for over 12years. She passed away in April of 2014. I miss her dearly. I have gained invaluable experience in the Healthcare and Caregiving field. This is what has led me to build this blogsite. I want to pass on this knowledge to others as I have much to offer in this field of interest.
