I became a caregiver at a young age, at the age of 15, I had to helped with our great grandmother after she had a stroke and was paralyzed and wasn't able to get out of the bed anymore. I had/have enjoyed talking to her and reading books, playing cards and just being around her and the other elderlies I was so fortunate to worked with. I learned a lot over the years from my elderly client's/residence and I take great passion working with the elderly and see them get better at being themselves and becoming independent again little by little. The one thing I'm proud of in this life is seeing and watching my children grew up.
