I am very caring, I love to clean, I am a very neat and tidy person. I am also a very positive person which could be a very helpful trait in caregiving. What attracted me to caregiving is the companionship that I feel our elders lack. They lack having someone there when they need someone the most.

I have always been a compassionate person to others, helping where I can, assisting my elderly neighbors as I was growing up, but never realizing it was a name for this and it's called Caregiving. I became a Private Duty Caregiver after a family member became very sick, and there was no one who was willing to assist her. I liked the idea of helping her, meal prepping, making sure she had what she needed to function on day to day basis. Even when she had to go into a facility I was there for her until the very end. I like knowing that I am bringing a smile or some form of hope to a person's day. My personality is like no other, whatever it takes to offer a glimmer of hope ie dancing, singing, reading, preparing a meal with love or simply something simple as taking an interest in them and learning who they are, or who they were brings me joy as well as them. I love listening to their stories I refer to some of my clients as "Living History". I am a mother to 2 college graduates. When I saw my daughter walk across the stage to get her Master's I realized I gave both my children all that I had in me as a single mom. My Greatest Achievement was going back to school and obtaining an AA in Human Services. I was given up for adoption at birth and I had wonderful Foster parents and I always said I wanted to give back what was given to me. By becoming a Care Companion I cannot think of a better way to give to others what was so freely and lovingly given to me. Time, Compassion, Morals. Consideration, Empathy & Love.

I'm 39 years old and I enjoy gardening, doing nails, cooking and art. I have 2 teenagers, my son is 16 and my daughter is 18. I have always had a passion for taking care of seniors. When I was a child, probably 6, I learned that the old lady that lived across the street I thought was just a school teacher, was actually an escapee of Bonnie and Clyde. I would go sit with her everyday. And when I was 10 I started taking care of her because I noticed the ladies that were there were stealing from her and not giving her proper hygiene cleaning or feeding her well. I took care of her until I was 16. Then her family has come to stay with her because she was fading away. But there were other elderly on my street I cared for growing up. And they are the reason I am so drawn to caring for the elderly. I enjoy sitting and talking to the people I care for. They are wise and they have many stories. And they love to tell everything they've been through and learned. They truly care about people and their well-being. I see caregiving as a type of gratitude and I enjoy doing crafts or anything with them. I like to make them feel good about themselves. I am not a perfect person. No one is. We all make bad choices and go through hard struggles in life. Personally, I am proud of myself for all I've overcome. I have come a long way. Not every day is easy but every day is conquered. So many people judge others before they hear their story. The love of the elderly and their willingness to accept and trust in a stranger to come in and care for them is overpowering in my mind. They demonstrate the kind of love we should have for one another, whether they be a stranger or not and I admire them for that and so much more.
