About Doris

I think I was a caregiver all of my life. I was a babysitter when I was a young girl. I cared for my mom when she had Huntington's Disease. I cared for my niece when she had no place to go and I took in her children when they were left on my front porch bruised and battered. I moved my dad into my home and cared for him while he battled cancer before passing away. And now I am caring for my husband who had surgery on his foot. This was all in addition to taking care of my four children. I love being able to be there for those who want and need help and I am grateful that I can provide that support for them.

What makes me a great caregiver I will say that I really care about people I tried to listen to what their needs and wants are and try to provide them with the best of my ability. I'm a caring loving person I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated, I became a caregiver when I was 13 years old taking care of my grandmother and her friends that was Eastern star members. I would go to their homes and prepare their food and take out the garbage and clean their homes in the summertime I found a lot of joy in helping them. The most thing that I enjoy about being caregiver is being there for someone that really needs me, listening to their stories, providing the care that they need. It gave me great joy to know that I am need it and want it. My personal achievement is to start my own group homes for the homeless, for the children, and for the seniors, and for the mentally ill. I want to see if community their work together stays together I think everyone needs each other to make this world a better place to live .
