I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping others, I love spending time with people listening to their life stories and the feeling of being able to be a companion to some one who needs it is amazing. It fills my heart with so much joy. At the age of 14 I helped my mother take care of my dying father during that time I realized how special I was to my father not just because I was his daughter but because he relied on me to help him with all his daily activities and it never bothered me I enjoyed being able to help him, so I guess I decided at a early age I wanted to help people in need.
