I became a caregiver mainly because I have always enjoyed working with seniors. I find working with seniors rewarding and I enjoy making them happy. I have been with one lady now for nine years. We've become very close and I appreciate, and greatly admire, her strength and determination. My mom was the first seniors I worked with. She lived with me and I cared for her when she became ill and unfortunately, dependent. I have worked with seniors ever since. I am a senior now myself. I am a widow and have one granddaughter that I adore! I am also very independent and in excellent health. Caring for the elderly is my way of giving back....and, it makes me happy!
