I became a caregiver to assist my mother in caring for my elderly grandmother and mentally ill aunt. Knowing that I'm making it possible for my aunt and grandmother enjoy life by assisting them with things that they normally can not do or have a great deal of difficulty doing. My oldest graduating from high school and going on to college. I'm a single mother of 3 children, all boys, 19, 15, and 8yrs old. I have been helping my mother care for my aunt and grandmother. My grandmother just passed last August of 2014 at 104 years young. Now I feel comfortable providing care for individuals in need of some everyday help.
