Somethings come naturally, and caring for children and the elderly seems natural for me. The years prior to my parents passing away, I worked a full time job and still helped take care of my parents. I spent weekend and evening with them. There were no regrets after they passed. What I enjoy the most about caregiving is the pleasure it gives the person I'm helping, and the good feeling I get assisting them. I know both my parents were proud, happy and relieved to be able to have stayed at home until they died. We are a close knit family and that is why I started helping my Aunt and a family friend once my parents passed and I became retired. My daughter is an RN and my son owns his own excavation company. I have six grandchildren, 5 girls and 1 boy. The boy was the last :) I live in a 4 tenement house that originally belonged to my grandparents, then my parents and now my brother owns it. 17yrs ago I moved back to Adams after living in California for 20 yrs. One of the apartments was available so I decided to not buy another house, and just live in the apartment next door to my parents. I had a baby monitor in my parents bedroom and in my bedroom so if they needed me during the night, they could just "yell", which my Mom did often because she could no longer walk on her own. Both my children live on the same street as I do, which makes it nice. I moved back to the Berkshires just in time to enjoy my parents last years before passing.

I've been working in the health care field for 24years. I have wonderful references and great experience. I was with a family for 8 and a half years. Now I'm working with the in-laws of that family. I've worked for a judge for 5 years and now I'm with a younger woman that I've been with for almost 6 years.

I think I make a great caregiver because of the way my grandmother raised me and how I had to help her growing up. It makes my heart warming feeling knowing I'm helping someone In need!

I'm mostly a outgoing person I love to sing and play games. I'm very athletic ,I like to make people happy and smile! I also enjoy cooking!
