FOCUS Care Provider
LaRelle Swavely has been a care provider for FOCUS for two years. She has been a consistent provider for the same family the entire time she has worked with us. She says that the best part of her job is being able to interact with the kids every day. LaRelle is currently going to college to complete the prerequisites for the Nursing program. In her spare time, LaRelle likes to crochet and knit. She likes making hats and gloves, although she did try her hand at making a sweater... once. Some very exciting news is that LaRelle is currently engaged! They have not yet set a date, but we wish her and her fiancé the very best! LaRelle is a compassionate, caring provider and we are so grateful for the time she has devoted to FOCUS!
