I find meaning in caring for other people most specially the elderly. I was a teacher by profession and raised 3 children alone. Being patient , compassionate, caring are just some of the traits my clients and family say about me .I was raised by my grandma and caring for the elderly reminds me of the times I had with her. In my culture , we take care of the elderly by providing relief , maintain/improve their quality of life and don't believe in sending them to nursing homes. I worked as a caregiver in St.Louis Missouri when a friend of the family I was living with recommended me to this home care agency upon witnessing how I was caring for the elder parents at home. The experience was very fulfilling.
