I became a caregiver little over a year ago. I have always wanted to go into a career where I can help others. I started working with mentally handicapped teens because I wanted to learn more about them and the special qualities they have that people really don't see. After words I just fell in love with the people I worked for and moved on to working for adults with mental health issues. I am an in home caregiver that assists other adults with day to day tasks. Just for me to be able to put a smile on their faces every morning is enough for me to keep doing what I'm doing. I love the people I work for and love what I do. Helping others is one of my ultimate goals in life.
