My name is Mary, I am a self motivated, compassionate stay at home mom who has spent 10 years raising and homeschooling my children while their father serves in the military. During this time I have networked on social media with people who had the same goal as me, created a support group for those with mental illness, set up a shop in home making and selling fleece blankets for BlanketsRUs, baby sat for friends and family members, cleaned and organized homes and cared for my grandmother. Since I could remember I would go with my mother and grandmother to visit my grandfather who had alzheimer's in the assisted living center. I seen how poorly he was being treated and helped my mother and grandmother feed, bath and take him on adventures that he would soon forget. I was also my grandmothers caregiver for nearly a year and the one thing I love about being a caregiver is how much knowledge is being shared, I always learn something new everyday. The reason I chose caregiving is because I seen how helpless my grandfather was and it opened my eyes to the fact that Im going to be the same way one day, helpless. When that day comes I hope and pray that I will meet a kind, compassionate, and patient caregiver to care for my husband and I. A personal achievement I am most proud of is being a high school graduate with 3 kids by the age of 21 and continuing my education to become a certified nurse assistant. My goal is to become a registered nurse and work in rehabilitation centers and psychiatric units.
