I just recently became a caregiver at a group home. I work in both our assisted living section and in our mental health/dementia section as well. I completely enjoy being apart of these people's lives and learning things from them everyday. I went into this job not knowing a whole lot about the position and now I feel like I've been there for years. I feel like I would be better suited to working more one on one with people as opposed to a large group. I love doing all kinds of activities like baking, reading, walking, and gardening to name a few things. I'm ready to see where this new adventure will take me.
