why I became a caregiver? it started when I was fifteen years old my mother was in the hospital she had cancer, I could not believe how some nurses in the hospital were treating her, also when we took her home we had a hard time finding some one who really cared about the people they were taking care of fortunately after going through many people we found a wonderful person to help us live out the last days dignity. what I like ? spending time with elderly people also making sure they are treated with respect. Proud of ? moving to America to help support my son and making sure he had every opportunity to achieve his goals, also learning English, and becoming an American citizen.
