What makes me a caregiver is my ability to be there for someone in need to be that helping hand or to be that ear to just let them talk to you about anything. What attracted me to care giving was my grandfather who started a sober living organization in his home for those who wanted a change life and i got put into the business at a young age which taught me young to be open minded to those who just needed a little more attention and help. I enjoy the fact that the whole job itself humbles a person and is an eye opener that someone else can be in need other than family and it's ok to open up and help them out.
