I love people, mostly the elderly. I lost all my grandparents at an early age, so being around them makes me feel I still have my own grandparents again. I love their stories of their lives and how it puts a sparkle in their eyes when they talk about it. I love to make people laugh. I'm very outgoing and can make anyone talk to me. I have empathy and patience it takes to help with the elderly. I've seen death and can't stand it when they die alone, so as a caregiver I'm hoping that I can be there with them so they don't have to be alone. That being said my most best achievement was taking care of someone's Mother, Sister or Grandmother, Father, Brother or Grandfather and I've been told I have a sweet soul.
