I became a caregiver after my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimers. Patience is important in every situation and after my family hired several nurses who clearly did not know the definition of patience, I became a part-time caregiver. Being a caregiver allows me to learn it assist me in growth...The wisdom you learn from the elderly and the questions from children that challenge your thinking are immeasurable. I also love impacting the lives of others. I have successfully mentored children and brought smiles to the faces of individuals who only knew pain and disappointment.
