I started out being a caregiver for my in-laws, I have taken care of many of my family members so they didn't have to spend their last years in a nursing home. I started working in the health field when I was in high school, I love helping the elder with their needs so they can stay in their homes. I have experiences in helping folks that have Dementia, Alzheimer's, Diabetics, and Cancer, ALS, I have the passion to help the elderly, It is something I enjoy doing. I love going in and helping them get ready for the day and helping them with what ever Appts or what ever they may have. Or just go and visit them, giving them the company that may make their day, or giving them a ride just to get out and enjoy the sun, what ever.. I feel the need to give back to the elderly for everything they have given us at one time or the other. I feel I am passionate, caring, and very good listener, I will treat the person as if they are part of my family, with love , caring, understanding. I really don't know what more to say, I know this is what I want to anything in my life, I have try to do other jobs, but it I seem to keep coming back to this field.
