I became a caregiver for a friend of the family after she had a stroke. I worked my regular job then helped her in the evening. I helped her do the things she could no longer do herself. Most of all I helped her keep her dignity. I found this to be very rewarding. I moved to New York and worked for People Inc. This is an agency that has group homes for the disabled. I worked with individuals ranging in age 15-85. Assisting them as needed in all areas of daily living. My duties included administering medication, proper hygiene, cleaning, cooking, shopping and transportation. I enjoyed this job and feel the individuals taught me as much as I taught them. I am proud of the relationships I have with the people I have served. I recently moved back to California from New York to be with family. My mother is 92 and I want to spend time with her.
