My passion for becoming a caregiver started when I was a very young child. My mother would take me and my brother to visit my grandparents in nursing homes. I saw how well cared for people can taken care of. But it really started to sink in that I could do this when I was 17 my cousin was dying of stage 4 breast cancer. I helped her for 8 months every day. Taking her to doctor visits, reminding her to take her meds, making meals for her and bathing/dressing her. While in this time she showed me that I had compassion and a heart for a job like this. A lot of people can say that care giving is easy, but if they dont have a strong stomach for certain things and a heart of gold not many can call this a career. I'm a full believer that when a person is in need to medical help and able to be at home it is 100% better for that individual. Its their surroundings, their home, their comfort. And when you add a supportive family it makes everything a whole lot better too. I also believe that our elderly deserve the very best care that they can get. After all a lot have had families of their own, raised their childern,worked for years, and now that they are older they deserve the very best care that there is out there.
