i am a 47 year old married woman. i have 2 minor children at home. i choose this field after 8 years of owning my own childcare because of family reasons. my husband was diagnosed with diabetes and my mother with early dementia. i was looking to just get the education to be able to take of my family when the time comes, but soon found out my wanting to take care of people was soley in my heart. i currently work in the field of hha and glad to say longer than i anticipated. i learned that the more i gave when taking care of others made me offer so much more of myself and willing. i feel complete and not at work when working with my clients but mostly at home and you know the saying "home is where your heart is"....... and my home is working as a hha.
