I always find it a pleasure helping others, being the eldest child of a family of 8 children I've always had a responsibility of caring for my siblings, which I learned as a young girl, then took it up as a job and have enjoyed it. Putting a smile on somebody's face is a good feeling. When my father was diagnosed with cancer I was ready to take care of him, which I did and that was a great accomplishment to see him feel better. Over the years I have worked with different families, one family I worked for had only offered me a job for 3 months because the doctors had told them their mother only had 3 months to live. I took the job and believed I will try and help the family take care of their mother in the finally days of her life, but little did I know that we were going to be together for 4 years. This job is about giving all your faith and hope for the best. I love what I do because I enjoy it.
