I became a caregiver after my husband became ill and subsequently passed away. I felt the need to help others where illness or disease has taken over and become a person their loved one could depend on. I am proud to say that I have made a difference in other people's lives by just being that person who is with someone's loved one so they can relax a little bit. I am proud of the fact that my last client was able to deal with her issues a little better as a result of my being there with her. We got a long great and she trusted me to be able to help her. I am a caring person who enjoys being that companion for another person. I enjoy keeping the client's house clean and running errands for them, and I feel good about myself and think I can truly make a difference. I love to talk with older people, and anyone for that matter, and being there to provide the care a safety for someone who really needs it makes me feel accomplished in life.
