What makes me a great caregiver? I have always felt a special kindred relationship with the elderly and disabled souls of our society. Perhaps it was grandmother Foley that instilled in me this value, for she was such a kind and loving person, and I the eldest of all her grandchildren (11) was the first to be bathed with her goodness. I also view every person I meet as a unique and blessed creation of God, and love experiencing those individual nuances He graced in each and everyone of us. Why did I become a caregiver? I believe I became a caregiver at this time in my life, because I feel I am drawn to give back to others as they have given to me as we are to do for one another for the glorification of our Creator. What do I like about being a caregiver? I enjoy the ability to help others with tasks that they themselves may have difficulty conducting, and I love to glean from them the gift of wisdom that they hold, gained over the many years they have lived their own lives. What are the personal achievements I am most proud of? I am most proud of how my two adult children have turned out. My son, Greg, is a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Marine Corp and is currently at Quantico and has next a contract to become a pilot, and my daughter Laura Beth, married a very nice young man, and she is an aspiring film producer with National Geographic TV in Washington, D.C.
