I want to become a Caregiver because I recently had my father stay with me and I took care of him. I made him 3 healthy meals per day, and I set out heart healthy snacks. I took him to very many doctor appointments, helped him exercise by creating a daily routine for him, I read to him, picked up his medications and made certain he understood them. I also picked out funny movies to watch with him. I discovered that this ability just kind of came to me naturally. I found that not only am I very good at caring for people, I very much enjoy it. I have a small recruiting business and while I have had much success with it; I am not passionate about it. However, I have learned a lot with this business and I am proud of the placements I have made. A little about me: I am a 39 year old petite woman. I have been married to the sweetest and most handsome man for 13 years. We have 3 beautiful BIG dogs: Elliot, our Coon-hound mix, Winston, our European Golden Retriever, and Georgie, our American Golden Retriever. I am a fantastic cook and housekeeper (I love this type of work!). I am well-traveled, as I was a Delta flight attendant for almost 8 years. I am an ex-ballerina and have exercised my entire life. I am great at creating routines for all levels of fitness and I can correct improper body mechanics. I have a passion for writing and pictures! I love to talk and laugh!
