I grew with the elderly and am close to the elderly especially women, because I didnt have a grandmother when I grew up. And I love hearing their stories.

Love to be around seniors, just listening to them. I had the opportunity to care for a 87 year old for 6 years. Saw the need to help and did. Enjoy getting the seniors to and from their doctors appointments. I have been doing this for the last few years.

Hi! I've been a caregiver for more than 12 years; but in the medical field for more than 40 I began my caregiver role after volunteering for hospice in a variety of roles. I felt a calling to contact my local hospice after being a volunteer in a local service league of which one of our projects was fundraising for hospice. After enrolling in the volunteer program, background check, lab work, they provided a thorough and continuous education as a sitter for patients. The caring part came naturally; although I had gained hands on experience while working for various physicians. My education from The University of Alabama along with hands-on experience from physicians in both front and back office medical clinics provide me with the knowledge and training required. My heart does the rest. The best feeling and reward is when a patient and their family are happy with the care they receive. Being a caregiver not only helps the patient but also gives the family a break and some relief in knowing their loved one is being cared for without worry.

I'm currently attending school for social work because I enjoy helping others and feeling like I've made a difference. I love care giving because I love the bonds I form with patients and assisting wherever I can.

I have a certification in CPR an associate's degree in science and have been certified as a CNA 20 years ago as well as went through a medical assistant program in 2005. I am the mother of two high-spirited an amazing young men ages 23 and 20. My from his son moved out 2 months ago.

Elderly assistance is something I've been doing since my early teenage years for my grandparents, especially my grandfather who's a Vietnam veteran, with any help they needed, if it be carrying, cooking, fixing, or any other tasks at hand.
