I believe I've always been a caregiver because it was a beautiful gift I've been given, to care for others that are less fortunate, give them the care and companionship they need, with all the respect they deserve, Im a great listener, have a way with turning this around into a positive, weather it be, doing their hair, nails, cooking their favorite meal, listening to their stories about their youth, going threw pictures, going for a ride, each individual is different so I go with what makes them happy, My Grandma past away to young of a heart attack 53 nd I was 13yrs old she was not treated the way she should have been treated, I wanted to become a nurse , to make a difference, nd being a caregiver I find I'm making a difference. I'm proud of my successful small hair salon that I've ran by myself for 12yrs, and the one thing I am the proudest about is my 2 amazing children that I've raised as a single mom for the past 21yrs, my daughter's in her 5th yr of college , and nd my son will become a Holyoke Police Officer this year , both have full time jobs nd go to school, have been Blessed with my children, people I've met, and with being a hard worker.
