I became a caregiver back in 2011, honestly, by mistake. I was doing some work pressure cleaning then I came up to an elderly man who invited me in to do some other stuff and helping him get up and get things done for him. Before you knew it I was there everyday helping him. I love the passion and companionship of the elderly. Its so much more to it then getting paid. Getting paid is actually a bonus. I love the elderly dearly. I am proud to say that I am actually doing good for myself from where I came from and how I grew up. No one would actually believe how successful I am. I actually am trying to make this into a business. I am a person who is always cheerful. I can easily see the good from the bad. Even better I can see the good in the bad. I am always smiling.
