I'm not one yet, but I do know that this is a field that is in great demand. I like the idea of being able to help someone that's not able to help themselves in certain areas of living. I did say that I wasn't a caregiver but I've been one for my husband for about six years and now that he's more independent I'm looking for work in that area. As far as personal achievements I've raised two handsome sons, moved from the D.C. area to Dunnellon Florida, with two staffordshire terriers and a cat, drove all the way myself walking dogs,cleaning kitty litter and feeding them everyday as well as making sure my husband was taken care of too. And thank God for La Quinta hotels because they welcomed our animals gave my husband because of his handicap a room on the first floor that was handicapped designed. I'm sixty-seven years old, a grandmother just recently and I live in Rainbow Springs in Dunnellon Florida.
