My grandma helped raise me for the first few years of my life and I was very close to her. She got sick with cancer my senior year of high school. I was able to help take care of her so we could keep her at home where she wanted to be. From then on I knew my calling is to help people. I was able to keep my father at home and help my mom care for him when he got sick with cancer. I am good at what I do because my only goal is make people happy and comfortable and feel they are loved and important. I miss the hands on care of working with patients. The nursing facility scene has become very much about how much money can be charged to the insurance companies in the least amount of time and I honestly just want to help people so I believe private caregiving could be very fulfilling.
