The reason why a lot of families choose me to take care of their loved ones is because I always try to look at the positive side of situations. I really enjoy helping others so I always do it with a smile on my face. They like the warmth and familiarity that I have with the people they love. When I was a little girl I remember sitting down with great grandmother, while everyone else was playing outside. I remember holding her hand while she was laying in bed without being able to communicate. This really skinny fragile lady squished my hand letting me know that she acknowledged I was sitting there with her. This impacted my life ever since and it bring me great pleasure to know I can make someone feel cared for and loved. A personal achievement for me is to visit each home and learning from supervisors that the family wants me back. That's when I know that I've done my job well.
