I started as a waiter, working with several different types of people. I started in a assisted living/senior apartments. Worked at an Alzheimer's facility for the next 15 or so years. I started as a dishwasher and worked my way up to become a supervisor. Than, I was taught how to become a caterer! Needless to say, I was so happy to make all my residents and family the happiest ever. Loving that so much, I couldn't do a whole lot of cooking. I turned to caregiving!! So awesome, clients able to stay in their own homes familiar with their surroundings! It was and still is a true blessing!
