Why I became a caregiver, at the age of 16 I had to take care of my dying mother of bone cancer. I took care of my mom for a full year before she was called to glory. That let me know my job was taking care of others. I really love caring for people. I guess me having to care for my mom and I did such a good job of considering, I really wasn't thinking about she was about to leave me, I just wanted her to be comfortable in her last days. Especially not having to worry about me. So I didn't give her any indications of my feeling at the time. I'm a wife and a mother of four. Three of my own and a stepdaughter. Grandmother of ten. I love cooking, especially holiday cooking. Keeping a clean house. I love learning new things, I sew, I'm a Master Cosmetologist, Certified Nursing Assistant, Licensed Childcare Provider, Licensed Bartender and I recently graduated Sanford Brown College for Medical Assistant.
