I first started caregiving at an early age my auntie was sick and I had to help my family take care of her and then she passed away at 12. Once I was 19 my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia and was later placed in a nursing facility and wasn't for it. They didn't make her do much so I would go and making her do things around the building. At 22 I graduated from college for medical administration assistant. Then my 2 auntie had a stroke and was diagnosed with aphasia. I had to assist her with everything. That's when I started to real love this career. Taking care and helping people is my passion now at 37. I really don't see myself doing other job because I don't like it knowing that I make a difference and learned while working is the best thing to me.
