I was raised by my great-grandparents, so from an early age, tending to the elderly was a big part of my life. During my teen years, I helped tend to my grandmother, who was suffering from lupus, diabetes, and cirrhosis of the liver. I cared for her up until her death and took her care very seriously, as well as keeping her happy and comfortable. As an adult, I have cared for several people with a range of ailments and conditions, and it truly warms my heart to bond with and care for these individuals. I hate to see people that are abused or mistreated , when all they need is someone to truly care about them as a person, instead of a job. I love to see the smiles on these people's faces when I come see them every day , and to know that I'm not only making them happy, but helping them feel secure and comfortable. I am also a mother of 5, so nurturing is second nature to me. I feel that if I have a job that I enjoy, its as if I'm not '"working" at all.
