I became a caregiver over 25 years ago because I care about people, especially the elderly, and enjoy helping them live good lives in their homes. I like being a live-in caregiver because I get to be a part of the patient's life and family and get to know them and they get to know me. A big personal achievement for me has been being a close part of so many families lives, taking care of several patients until their final days. I also am proud to have raised two grown college graduate children. I am a great direction follower, I like to talk with the patient, keep them company, clean, go on walks, I exercise and stretch for 30 minutes every morning for over 40 years. I also enjoy watching sports on TV from time to time.
