I was first influenced in becoming a caregiver at the age of fourteen. Unfortunately, my great grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and at a young age I willingly cared for her. I enjoy being a caregiver because I believe something that you have been doing habitually for years becomes something that you love. I have four children and five beautiful grandchildren that I exceptional care for and love. Additionally I have been taking care of and assisting in the needs of the elderly, and that has also become something that I love. A personal acheivement, or rather a few, that I am proud of is being able to assist when someone that I am caring for is relying on me the most. Unfortunately, I have witnessed losing a few people in my lifetime, recently including my grandmother. I feel in the most compassionate way proud of being there for her when she was sent off to heaven. These are moments that we wish didn't have to occur but these moments are evident and I feel blessed to be a part of that. I will like to conclude by saying that this is just not a career for me, it is my instincts and I would be more than honored to be a part of your organization.
