I became a caregiver from caring for my grand mom when she became sick and needed almost 24 hours of care. I helped my mom with a certain hours to care for her. By doing it, I enjoyed making her happy; she always tell me "I thank you; I am not left alone" often she always had nice stories. I realized how much companionship meant to her at that age. I saw the need to do whatever I could to make her smile. I, naturally love to be with or work with people, this experience with my grand mom, my heart turned my heart completely to assist some by adding a difference in their life by promoting comfort as much as I can .
